Wow - how nice to hear someone else say this.  I get funny 
looks when I say I just want to work and do my job well. 
 I don't want to own a business.  I don't want to be a 
manager - team leader maybe, which is pretty much what I 
am - but I want to *work*.  Have definite projects I can 
look at and say "Done" with some pride, not just constant 
open ended "improve the company" goals.  Not that I think 
improvement is bad; without it we'd fold; but having a 
concrete finish is something important to me.
