Sorry about the double post, but listen to yourself:

1) Who cares about their panties? Who has the seniority here, and who's giving it away?

2) What they want from you?! That's not how being an Advisor works - it's what they need from you! I'm sure that you've been given some sort of Advisors Workbook or Manual - you need to re-read it and realize that THEY NEED YOU!!

I'd set some time aside for some serious soul-searching here. Advising is not for everyone, and many burn out faster than others. Admitting it and moving to a position where you will be more useful isn't failure - it's (again with the analogy!) a "career move".
