Dave,
Don't feel bad, I've been in the same space myself once or twice. My 
jobs tend to be carefully selected for environment and co-workers, 
rather than pay or advancement, so I've never been in a really bad job. 
I have thought I was in a bad spot a couple of times, but it turned out 
to just be a slump that I worked myself out of after hearing a few real 
horror stories from my support groups in meat space and on the 'net.

I seem to remember someone saying that perception is reality. It helps 
to hear about folks whose jobs really suck, because it shows me what a 
great job I really have. My thanks and my sympathy go to everyone who 
has shared their sorrows with us. If you ever want to get into 
low-paying state work, let me know. >8^)
