Like a lot of jobs, there is normally some downtime to deal with in
technical writing. I think a lot of people find it boring because
sometimes you're working at a snail's pace and have to find things to
fill out your day, but then you spent some time working hard to get
something complete for a deadline. If you find the downtime where
you're waiting for reviews back or waiting for a piece of software to
chug out it's magic on your outdated PC as boring, yeah, the job can be
that sometimes. Personally, I take that time as the trade-off for 40+
hour weeks during release times. It all balances out.
