text: You definitely have the carrot dangling in front of you- unless you live in california, 60k to start is excellent bucks- so whenever you start picturing your hands moving towards your managers neck and call fed ex to send him to india via the slow boat to china route, THINK OF THE GREEN- the moola, the buckos-- and as far as being productive, it seems you've been faking it pretty good so far, so just continue doing the same.  Good luck
