be able to tell people where I work without feeling uncomfortable

No progress with this – but my boyfriend commented on it the other day. “Why do you always hesitate when people ask you what you do? I find myself answering for you. You really need to do something about it.”

I’ve been working for the same company for six and a half years. It’s a huge multi-national, and I work as a ledger monkey in the finance department. It’s a job that I fell into, not a career I desired. There is nothing especially wrong with it, but I am aware when anyone asks me what I do, I feel uncomfortable telling them. So there’s the problem. From here there are two choices – either I get another job or I learn to accept this one. Right now, I am very unhappy at work – so the thought of leaving is tempting. I’m not sure that leaving would be a good move though. In essence, I like what I do, I’m just not happy with the atmosphere at work.
Just wanted to get these feelings down in writing to prompt me to work on this.
