It sounds really stupid, but to feel better about having had to slug through a particular difficult problem, all it takes sometimes is a "Well Done!" at the end. Another thing that I've found works too is bribes: 5$ in Tim Horton's gift certificates goes a long way to feeling about addressing peoples problems.
It's not much, but it makes the day just a little bit better. ;-)
