Noticed that "money per unit leisure time" isn't what I want here, as it tends to infinity as you work longer hours! Maybe you should seek to maximise (money x leisure time) instead. Anyway I hope the sentiment was clear.

You write > "I love my job...I even love my boss" then go on to describe a nightmare. Read it! It sounds like Stockholm Syndrome! Well done for getting it off your chest, now you need to go find something else. The situation probably ca
