There's a lot more to being a professional than being good at the technical aspects of what you do. Communicating, coordinating, scheduling, etc. all play at least as much of a role in getting the job done. I think if you are handling those aspects of the job well, you shouldn't feel like your pants are on fire everyday, no matter where you work. [Edit: assuming it's not some kind of sweatshop. Don't waste years of your life at one of those.]
Also you probably have other priorities in life so remember those every day rather than look back two years later saying "how did I forget everything else in my life?" It can be done. Stand up for yourself, and what you want out of life.
