I really know exactly what you are currently battling against... I have been fighting the same fight for about 5 years now... inheriting complex projects written by numerous junior level programmers (who themselves were probably given no direction).

I have always managed to cope with it in the past but the time has come now whereby I have decided to go in search of pastures greener (and by that I mean go it alone!)... having just got completely fed up of it, and feeling like I every day I sit in the same job my creativity is getting drained out of me having to deal with all these ridiculous problems.

Oh, and I can fully sympathise with being managed by a *senior management team* who have a complete lack of understanding of the project in hand. Grrrrrr.

Anyway, here's to the future! Who knows what it holds!
