I hear ya Swanky. While I'm usually thrilled that I get to do the work I love, I'm totally sick of it right now. 10 or 12 70-hour work weeks in a row does not make me a happy camper. Then I think of that pithy saying, "No one on their deathbed ever says 'I wish I'd worked more'" and I want to slap them and say "how the hell am I supposed to pay the mortgage by working less?" while a kid half my age and salary is maneuvering for my job. And he can work 80 hour weeks no problem, cuz he has no life at all...but I digress. Just take a long break when you can. I was totally burned out back in 96 after a 5 year stint at Lucasarts and took half a year off to recover, and my love for the work slowly returned.
Best of luck to you, though!
