You're throwing around huge figures there. I'd be over the moon just to have my pay at 20k, or to even get a bonus. Of course I would be furious to take a pay-cut.

Try and remember that people are out there earning far less than you are. It might even make you feel better. Crevecoeur puts it well:

>It is strange that misery, when viewed in others, should become to us a sort of real good

If you're earning as much as you say I really can't fathom how you can be miserable. Perhaps a hobby or some fresh air would do you good.

I had to re-read the pay rate a few times myself.

Money fixes a lot of problems. But if your not happy with the work your doing or the people you work with, no amount can fix that. You can put on a fake smile for sure (i did for a long time) but that gets old real fast.
