I wanted to write this article yesterday, but you beat me to it. I think all jobs are a mixture of interesting work, and work you just have to power through. Certain tasks, I get so bored with. One of my strategies is putting on the head phones and concentrating on music, and letting the boring stuff be done by autopilot. But even then sometimes I just cannot seem to make forward progress.
Also relevant is this post on Fire and Motion by Joe Spolsky of Stack Overflow fame. It's from 2002 but humans haven't changed much since then. I love the brutal honesty.
