I would suggest learning Python or Ruby.
Both are object-oriented, dynamic and modern languages.
You can download them both and get started today.
Just grab the software, Google for some tutorials and get cracking.

PHP sucks. Steer clear. You will learn a lot of bad habits.

I love my work, so I don't really have many negatives.

"Crunch mode" can be a killer, but I view this as a breakdown of the process rather than a normal state of affairs. If you are continually working insanely long hours then find another job. And this can happen in any industry or job.
