When I can't sleep (which is often, these days) I try to offset my stress by focusing on a little Endverse myself. Just because I'm not writing it, doesn't mean I've stopped daydreaming about it.
I gotta say at sunrise, seeing the light glow though all of the blown out windows was very eerie and beautiful.
I can believe that, but I'm still not sure I'd want to begin my day with a view of Michigan Central. That place was creepy as fuck, both from a distance and up close, and everything around it really did look like the apocalypse had come and gone. Brrr.
Personally I think they ditched Cas because Misha is a much better actor than Jared, and people were drawn to the incredible chemistry between Jensen and Misha.
I think the writers and producers (with the exception of Ben Edlund) really were not happy with Castiel's position on the show. But they're the ones who created that situation -- they destroyed Dean's relationship with Sam and introduced Castiel in the same season, so it's not surprising that so many viewers got attached to him, especially when he seemed to be the only character on the show who had any regard for Dean. Sam got more and more shunted off to the side, and I agree with you that Jared's weaker presence as an actor did not help.
You should think of your current situation that way.
Actually, that's exactly how I'm thinking of it. I'm already trying to lay the groundwork that will allow me to leave, hopefully within a year or less. That is, assuming they don't let me go first. I'm good at what I do but I'm really not a good fit with that company's culture and especially not with that particular team or workstyle. And I'm clearly not alone in that thinking -- of the three people who held this job before me, only one stuck it out for more than a year. My immediate predecessor only stayed for four months. It's so unfair that the employer gets to do a background check on you before offering the position, but you don't get to do a background check on them before accepting.
