I've always maintained that if you don't like your job (for whatever reason) then you should quit rather than whine about it.
If you quit first then look for a job, you are at least assured that you're quitting for the right reason, not just because some other job (payroll package) is tempting you. The question should be "Do I want to quit this job or stay in it?" not "Hmm, they're offering me more money so maybe I'll just switch jobs?".
Only once have I had a new job lined up before quitting an old job. The new job didn't last long. The longest I've been out of work was five weeks and that was mostly because I went on vacation for three weeks, then spent a week tidying up the house, then started looking for a job...
