I worked every day this weekend. WDWDN?

Pro: I'm working over 40 hours this week which means it is a bit more money
Con: I'm not making 1.5x for working on the weekend
Con: I'm not making 2.0x for working on a Holiday
Pro: August is my 2 year mark so this will be leverage for my raise
Con: Haven't had a raise since I've worked here
Con: Destroyed my weekend
Pro: I'm charging for half the hours I played WoW during any down time I had.
Con: Project is taking way longer than it should and it isn't going well.
Pro: Boss is out next week.
Con: I haven't slept well in three days
Pro: I've had help on the project with someone in India
Con: I've had no help from any co-workers

I could go on, but this is a good start. I deserve a raise, I know if I'm not getting one I'll be leaving, but where should my cut off be? I don't know. Maybe this job is just plain too ridiculous. Maybe I shouldn't be working on a holiday weekend. Maybe if I was better at this job it would have worked the first time and I wouldn't have to troubleshoot. Any thoughts?
