I'm answering your question: I've vented about work more than three times. I've just become comfy here and while they do get under my skin, I can handle it. But this job isn't what I truly want to do. So, I stay out of comfort of knowing this beast and fear of the outside world.
I think you've already said something really important: "I've become comfy here." Comfort can be a wonderful thing, but it can also make us forget to ask whether it's still serving us. It doesn't mean you have to leave tomorrow, but maybe you've identified the real tension: it's not the job itself, it's the gap between what feels familiar and what you really want
