I saw on television some time ago some psychological studies that were done
regarding something that was not enjoyable to do.  It was found that if the
person was paid to promote undertaking the task, they started believing
themselves that they had enjoyed doing it, when in reality it was a boring
undertaking.

Based on this, I believe the human mind is quite capable of adapting to
adverse situations for its own survival.  I think you'll find out that if you
force yourself to engage in using SAS day in and day out, you will start
believing you like it.  This will relieve tensions, anxieties, frustrations,
etc., that are not good for the well being of your mind and body.  The good
news from this is that your current frustrations and ill opinions of SAS are
only temporary.
