I try to make the job interesting by looking at each project or task in a few different ways: 1) Can I find some way to automate it by building some interesting abstraction to the problem? 2) Can I use some new tool or technology to increase my skill set? This might even be a non-technical skill in some cases. 3) Can I write a blog about the problem and how I approached it and how I solved the problem. Doing this will help to market my skill set or help me make connections with other interesting people.
