What does this phrase mean:

"spinning my tires"

********** NOT A TEACHER **********

Hello, 2010.

(1) Here in the States, we have an expression:

spinning one's wheels = wasting one's time and effort.

(2) For example:

I am going to quit this job. I am just spinning my wheels here.

No matter how hard I work, I will never get a high position with

good pay because all the good jobs go to the manager's relatives.

Thank you
