It sounds like you need to learn to say no- or at least negotiate what you work on. If you hate it so much tell your boss - they'd prefer you happy and working on something else rather than quitting.

that's actually good idea. I never considered negotiating this part. I thought if they pay me...

I've been called "programmer-whore" by friends (in joking manner :) ). Because I go in and fullfil wildest manager's dreams for money. Huh. Some truth to it I guess.

I hope that expression is not too vurglar to use here... sorry I'm not native English speaker.

Yeah it took me a long while to learn this.

If you're doing the work and not complaining managers will think you're happy. If you're working overtime to get this done they'll think you're very happy. If you aren't enjoying it you need to tell them. They aren't mind readers.
