That's a tough one, Phil -- but I think that you're having this trouble BECAUSE it's an easy 40 hour a week job, not despite the fact. Sucks, huh? I know when I'm working one of those stresspot jobs, where I actually care what happens, and believe that I have actual impact on it happening, and put in the 70 hour weeks, I always think I want a less stressful job. And every so often, I've had them. And broken down entirely.
I don't know what to say, since I've never solved my own problem with it. I know that I do best with a great deal of autonomy. Tell me what I'm supposed to do, and when I'm supposed to have it done, and be there to answer questions. And then leave me the heck alone, and don't bother me. Hard to find those jobs, though...
Anyway, the pension and the free insurance do count for a lot. The problem is -- can you handle it? And that's something I can't even begin to think of how to address...
Oh, well, read Oscar Wilde, play your drums, and decide whether security is worth it, or if you really need better quality of life from your job? That's all I can think of... (But not too light on the snare, hear?)
