Manage My Micro Manager

I consider myself a rock solid person when it comes to my attitude towards the status quo. I will keep making the best out of a situation given to me until it gets rotten on it's own. I love what I have. That's probably why I have little motivation to gain what I don't have until new opportunity almost presents itself to me. There is is rhythm in my life. I simply follow the rhythm. I never need to create waves... More specifically, I have been on this job for almost 7 years. I hardly ever complaint. Now when I am feeling hard to leave, it started to present unpleasant situations as if to help me make up my mind for departure.

For the past year or so, we have had this new guy leading the team. My job is no longer the same as before. He is not seeing to how the job is done but how much the people put their mind into talking about how to get things done. He creates an emergency room situation while there is nothing emergent... I could see myself being such a difficult person for him to manage - getting things done serioulsy with a non-serious attitude. He came to me for the year-end review today, the last day of the work. Stressing his belief in my ability and skill, he questioned if I have enough motivation at work. He was addressing my phone calls and writting email. I warned myself not to be the cat playing with a mouse, so I said, "I will improve that..." I should do him a favour by quitting the job. I can clearly see myself drive him insane. He is so sensitive. And I am so real and raw. Poor guy.
