Yea, I feel a bit in a rut myself with work. Getting my ass handed to me on a daily basis (actually this week hasnt been too bad because we are in a change freeze) but they gave me a raise, I'm due a couple bonuses and still have small stock payouts every quarter for another couple years that I stay. It makes it pretty difficult to leave atlhough I kind of want to by next year not only because this job is getting ridiculous, but I'm not really advancing, just working super hard. I need the money with my brother moving out soon too so I can't be risky. Sucks, I've been feeling a bit trapped lately, but it's hard to complain when I kind of have things in place to survive, I just need to keep working hard. Hopefully you find something Bill that is better for you. With unemployment so low right now, it might be a good time to check and see if you can get more money somewhere else.
