I started writing about my own experiences with boredom at work, and it evolved into a blog post. I'll spare you the details. My advice for you: just apply to other companies anyway and wait for an offer that excites you. The worst thing that will happen is you'll get rejected and the particular interviewers will think less of you. You can always re-apply later. Meanwhile, start watching Google Tech Talks during your spare work hours and tell your boss's boss that you'd like a challenge.
