I'm actually really into the stuff that I'm doing right now.
If you can decide yourself what to do and you have a lot to do then it doesn't get boring that easily. However often times at work I have to do tasks which I personally consider useless and waste of time but some procedure requires that they must be done. I have serious trouble doing these tasks. It is like carrying a ton of steel up the hill. Some people seem to have no problem doing these kind of tasks. They are just like "well the procedure requires it so I do it. simple". They are not really bothered. I spend half the time moaning and whining and getting bored and distracted and it is hard to concentrate. I start to hate the world and everything loses meaning when I am faced these kind of tasks.
For example right now we are having this kind of situation at work. Procedure says we should do A then B then C (C is the final goal, A and B are just steps to get there). Plan is to spend 2 weeks for each stage and produce certain work items in each stage. I already spent couple of days on A and now I feel like I'm ready to move to B. I don't need to go through A as thoroughly as the procedure requires. I have already gotten everything I need from that stage. But the system disagrees. It wants me to produce all the items that phase A is defined to produce.
So next week I'm going to do A and B at the same time. B is what I really do and A I do only with my left hand to please the process. So doing A is going to be absolutely boring because it serves no end. It is just a burden and complete waste of time from now on. Thus I am going to be both overworked and bored next week. That was kind of complicated explanation
