You mean there is a name for it?

I am departing from the intent expressed in my last post of trying to describe my job in words that don’t tell anyone what I do.  I am doing so because of two new words.
Creeping Codgersim.
Thank you, Anna Quindlen, for summing up in two words the suburban malaise which I believe is beginning to affect [...]

Roget called and he wants his thesaurus back.
