Oh boy do I ever relate to the work thing. It's been 9 months since I left a job that sounds much like yours - sucked every bit of my energy, kept my stress levels permanently through the roof, and while I did take refuge in my personal writing, I had more external pressures there that took some of the fun away and made that a chore sometimes as well. I'm much, much happier now that I'm not slaving for the man anymore, and letting myself take the time I need to recharge when I need it. It's really difficult when the urge, the burn to write is there (so, pretty much constantly, lol), but I think I've figured out how to temper it a bit.
I really wanted the Millenium Falcon
You win big points with me for this, right here. :D Coolest hunk of junk in the galaxy. *grin* I have a little figurine of the Falcon that lives in my living room, my geekdon proudly displayed for all to see. Once upon a time I had one of those 3D foam puzzles, too, but it got damaged and some of the pieces lost, so I had to let it go. *sniff*
