Anyone feel like they aren't accomplishing anything at work?

I'm in such a slump right now at work. I feel like I really have nothing to show for what I do and have not really made any accomplishments in my field. And I'm not really motivated to do anything about it!

I guess its because a former co-worker was just named to a 'Movers and Shakers' list in my field and this person totally wants to make me PUKE!

Maybe I was born in the wrong era. When I clean the house or do some organizing at home I feel like I really DID something. If I finish a big project at work I'm like 'Big Deal!'. I think I would feel like I was contributing something worthwhile by making a home for my husband and (future) children than I can at work.

Or maybe this is just PMS!

I feel the same way at my job...but it's cuz the management/ownership is quite sexist.....the woman do the same things as the men but don't nearly make as much!!!

I know we'll be leaving NY soon, so this job is now temporary and I don't put any more effort into it than I have to......my real job is to be a good wife and mom which I know I'll excel at!!!

I totally hear ya on this, I definitely feel the same way.
I work for an electronics distribution company and Im in sales.
Not only is the subject matter completely boring but I feel that everyday I do
the same old thing, none of my work really makes a difference in anyone's life.
Yet I have stayed with this job for three long years. I cant seem to get myself motivated
to try something new, Its pretty sad and strange becuase I see my self as a pretty motivated
person in other parts of my life with the exception of my career. I think I just get comfortable
with a routine or something.

I'd really like to just be a homemaker but with the cost-of-living on LI it would be really tough and I don't want to put any undue pressure on DH by being the sole moneymaker.

Hopefully I can go PT after we start having kids.

You mean being on LIWeddings all day long is not accomplishing anything??? I feel your pain, but am not in a field I love, so i really don't care. It pays the bills until the baby is born and then I stay home.
