Engineering and math

I'm an EE and taking classes for my Master's. And I am again realizing
my distaste for math. I don't hate it, I just really struggle with it.
Is this weird?

I have always really enjoyed designing and building electronic things,
and even daydream about it. I analyze everything beyond what I believe
is normal, and am always trying to figure out better/easier ways to do
things, and I'm employed as an engineer. Yet anything beyond
high-school level math drives me nuts. Is it an oxymoron to like
engineering but look at a complex math problem like it's written in
Chinese?
