I managed to refrain from putting "paying my mortgage" down as my objective on job applications, though that was always the first (and often the only) thing that came to mind.
I always want to put...to get the hell out of my current job!
My cats wake me up near dawn every day. Damn cats.
When I have to do my annual review, I want to put "haven't gotten fired" as one of my major accomplishments.
Oh god, I don't think we even have a place for new accomplishments, just progress against goals, but I totally should have put that this year.
True, it does go back to me wanting to list "don't get fired" as one of my goals.
Funny, I tell myself all the time that the worst thing that will happen to me if I fuck up at work is that I'll get fired. Because the small-shrewish-mammal part of my brain totally thinks it will get eaten.
So maybe y'all should put "did not get eaten" down as accomplishments.

I'd like money and health insurance. And some sense of being a useful person. I don't think that is what I am supposed to put down though.
The being a useful person part you could spin into an appropriate goal, I bet.
I would be tempted to hire someone who said that, though, because that's the best motivation I can think of to keep a job.
As a nonprofiteer, the useful person part is pretty much the selling point for me.
