Yesterday my boss sent out an email saying that another team in the company had an opening and was anybody interested. The way the email was framed, it was pretty clearly just an "I sent this email out because someone asked me to, but no one will actually say yes, so there's no danger of losing any people here" email. I thought about it for a few minutes, then responded that I was interested and found a person on that team and talked to her about it just so I was sure they knew I was interested.
This new job would be much more like an actual job in that I would have stuff to do constantly, would actually involve more writing and less actual technology (something I've been interested in for a while now), and would be with a team full of people I generally enjoy, so there aren't many downsides (though there are some big ones, like many more meetings). I have my reservations, but this sounds like a good move for me, so I'm moving forward to see what happens.
I haven't heard anything interesting today and have had some free time to fret about it, but with any luck, I'll have information soon. Maybe I'll be able to move out of my boring stressful and into a busy stressful job! If that sounds dumb to you, I can say with great confidence that I would rather be busy and stressed then bored and stressed. More news as it appears...
