Careful what you wish for.
I've had jobs in the past where boredom was an issue (most when I first started my working career), and I agree - it's painful to go into work, have nothing to do, only to look at the time and find out it's 1:30PM.
Nowadays though, I haven't had a "bored" day for over 4.5 years. I keep reminders on my Outlook calendar for tasks and I find myself extending these tasks to the next day every day at EOD because there just isn't enough hours in the day to get to everything. When you spend 80% of your day sitting in meetings, when the hell are you supposed to get to your actual work?
My team is also mostly offshore in India, so when I get off, they start sending emails my way.
Something in between the boredom and what I do now would be nice.
