TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
A week or so ago, I submitted a post about doing "extra things", in my case,
it was creating a database for presenting information in a more useful way.
When you push yourself and your job into areas where you're going to learn
new stuff, how can you be bored?

Subject: RE: Is being technical writer boring
I hate to get all New Age on ya, but being bored is a choice.
If you do the least amount and variety of work you can get away with, any
job is boring. If you notice and grab the opportunities to do different, new
things and improve the processes and products around you, no job is boring.
