Every job has some aspect of it that you will resent, and we've written about it on our blog (http://blog.sandglaz.com/how-to-do-tasks-you-simply-resent-doing/http://blog.sandglaz.com/how-to-do-tasks-you-simply-resent-doing/ http://blog.sandglaz.com/how-to-do-tasks-you-simply-resent-d...).
I've been there before, and had some periods of time at a previous position where it felt like every minute of the job was a struggle. Getting things started was the most difficult for me, but once they were started, I could get them done.
If this job is just to pay the bills, and is not critical for your career, then:
* Work on autopilot. Do what is required of you, and use some of your time on the job to learn things that would advance your career. For example, for each 4 hours worked, allow yourself an hour of learning something new to advance your career.
* Find outside activities that you look forward to each day. Don't let the job define who you are. If you do, it could crush you.
* Since they value you, ask to work reduced hours if possible. The less time you need to commit to the job, the less likely you are to burn out.
However, I can't help but recommend that you stay on the look-out for a job that brings you satisfaction and challenges you to do your best everyday.
