The saving grace in my scenario is that I'm salary non-exempt. Meaning, I get salary but also earn overtime. My checks have been much larger than normal (what little the GOV will let me keep), but that's not to say it's "enough" to warrant the toll on my mind/body/soul. There's way worse out there. I think of those who were POW's or held hostage, and feel like a total ass. Then I also think my current situation smacks of an Orwellian negative-utopia. I get up robotically everyday and am chastised if I'm mere minutes late. I do the same thing every day, which largely involves covering someone else's tracks, and routinely hear of managements' maneuvers to cannibalize one another. I drink my "Victory" gin and visit my doctor regularly to see if my "chemical smile" medication is working or still necessary (no longer necessary means I've been sufficiently "adjusted" to the system). ..maybe I just need a cruise. HA! boil

But then, this is all just semi-educated guesswork.
