I was in a similar situation in 2000 and ended up in a job I really enjoyed for 2 years. It was at a startup with a cool boss who let me more or less make my own hours as long as I was getting the company work done. I'm still good friends with some of the people I worked with then, and the experience I gained helped me out a lot in my career.

When I left the job, it was to get back into running my own small company, and have been self-employed ever since.

I obviously don't know all the details of your situation but maybe you'll be lucky like I was and be able to turn this into an opportunity.
