Guh, work. The best advice I can give is... hang in there! (Haha, I feel like such a broken record. I'm to the point that that's all I can say to my husband as well.)
I don't know where you work (yeah, sorry, my memory is pretty slippery. I'm sure you told me once before) but at least in my husband's case, we have found that the corporate types would much rather he leave a project partially finished or hastily done, rather than done well and right and go into overtime. Because doing a half-assed job and staying in the black is far more important than the satisfaction of a job well done. Yes, they still give him crap about it, but it's more of a "we have to tell you that the job sucked. But we made payroll for the week, so yay!" sort of thing. It hurts the pride and goes against everything we've grown up thinking are of value, but that's the state of corporate, I'm afraid.
And... yeah. That was me trying to be helpful and likely just making it worse. Lo siento, amigo.
