>The opposite of being bored is to be surprised Eh, the opposite of being bored is being excited/engaged, and the opposite of being surprised is being predictable. I don't disagree that predictable is probably what we want for a lot of what we see around us (no one wants unpredictable traffic lights), I think we are lying to ourselves if for at least some subset of our work-life we want cool and shiny, so long as we are within the bounds of business objectives.
