What Do You Do When Your Job Turns Into A Nightmare?

Okay, if things haven't worked out well previously, it's not real likely. So, you might want to go at it with light touch.

In addition to a more formal couple of minutes in the boss's office, you also have the option of a casual approach. Almost like saying a single sentence to begin with as you put a frozen dinner into the microwave and then looking back to read and gauge your boss's response, and then taking it from there. (recommend having a couple of stock phrases planned)

------------------------------

And however things work out, please cut yourself some slack. You sound like someone who is a sincere, serious worker in an environment which is not very good.

Tech support is inherently inexact. I'd use the analogy of a baseball player who bats .300. Now that's a good baseball player. But it still means that out of 10 plate appearances, you'll fail to reach on 7. And over the course of a 162 game season, with four or five at-bats per game, the chance of having a slump, or just say a relatively dry streak . . .

And with a good boss, as you're explaining this, he or she is going to catch it. And you can stop right there. And then you go on to your main point, 'I'd really like to get back and do more graphics.'
