Mbleh...I've felt similarly for some time about my own physics research. There's a reason I haven't mentioned it lately in my LiveJournal...I haven't made much progress with it. And that's mostly because I'm pretty much totally burned out on it. Really, the only reason I'm still (nominally) continuing with it is that, well, after having gone through all the exams and classwork and finished everything but the dissertation, it seems it would be a waste to drop out now. That's not to say I haven't been tempted, and I certainly don't have any interest in making physics into my primary career.
None of this probably helps you much, I realize. Just...I guess wanted to say I've been there (and really, still am).
