I'm not sure I actually HATE my job. It could definitely be worse. I work for a good company, I work with people I
like (for the most part), and my boss is great. It's just stressful and draining. I was just frustrated by another all nighter trying to get things done. There's always some emergency or some fire to put out. But I do a good job, am well respected, and like I mentioned - get paid well. But I don't love my job, or particularly like what I do. So that kind of sucks, but I am really lucky to have the job that I have. I shouldn't complain.

I'm being groomed for a much higher position in the company, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to do that job...regardless of the benefits that would come with it. But it would be hard to turn it down.

Eventually I'd like to be at a point where a 50% pay cut would be realistic and I could do something I like better, but not sure that will happen.

It's just a stressful time of life. Got soon to be two daughters in college (which is expensive - even at BYU), lots of work around the house that needs to be done, a time consuming calling at church, etc. There's just never any down time.

But like I said, ultimately I recognize things are good, and I am in a much better situation than many find themselves in.
