We're not a boring company, but there is boring work to get done, and that sucks up a lot of time in a start-up where we should be focused on the more interesting stuff. Not only because it is challenging, but because our customers want it. But, there is no way of getting the product into the customers hands, billing, support, marketing, etc. and all the other "boring" CRUD stuff that needs to be done to support the product. This may explain why so much work is considered boring. Unless you have a highly specialized skill, and even then sometimes, expect the majority of your time to be taken up with more menial tasks.
