Today, I was complimented on my improved performance over the last 3 months. My boss said he doesn't know what I've done to improve, but to keep it up. I'd only started looking for another job, and stopped giving a shit. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had a performance evaluation meeting with my boss. He told me I was the best in my department, and that the productivity has never been higher before I started working here. Oh, and he said that because everything is working so well, they don't need me as much, so he's cutting my hours. FML
Today, at work, the janitor would not stop telling me how good I looked. This was after he told me he was fired for sexual harassment at his last job. He clearly learned that lesson. FML
Today, it's the 3-month anniversary of adopting the "I don't have the slightest chance at success" attitude at work. In those 3 months, my boss, my coworkers and my boss's boss have all agreed and our relationships have greatly improved. FML
Today, after putting in 110% at my shitty job for two years straight, my boss told me point-blank I'm too good in my current position for him to ever be able to justify promoting me. FML
Today, I got my third promotion at work in as many years. My husband congratulated me very briefly, before asking if this meant he no longer had to look for a job. FML
Today, I found out people are suspicious of me at work because I do a good job. FML
Today, I was told I was being fired from my job after "5 months for poor performance." I helped lead my team to the highest possible success they’ve had the last 4 years. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. I've been working hard doing extra work so I can get promoted. He called me in to tell me I'm to reliable in my current position, so I won't be moving up. FML
Today, my boss told me that he’d hired me because he thought I looked intelligent. He then went on to say that it was about time that I proved that I was. FML
Today, I gave my boss two weeks notice for me leaving work, as I had received a better job offer with twice the pay. I thought he took it well until I heard him mutter under his breath, "About fucking time." FML

I guess they have heard you wanted to leave and complimented you about your work to prevent you from leaving...

Bob1: Peter, you seem to be missing a lot of work lately. Peter: Well Bob, I haven't been exactly missing it. Bob1, Bob2, Peter: "laughing"

Good luck with the job hunt! It's nice to know that you're still being appreciated in your current workplace

Sometimes when you just relax and stop caring too much your best work can come out. Sorta similar situation for me too. Hey at least you know you've got job security while you look for something else.

you could have been stressing yourself out in order to work well and by doing so made your work frantic and hard to do. when you stopped caring, your stress level dropped and it became easier for you to work. this may not be the case, but if it is, don't worry it can happen to anyone

That's along the same lines I was thinking. Op subconsciously could have been trying a bit too hard.
