I have perfect pitch and I find it to be generally enjoyable.
It's useful, to some degree, in a musical setting; I find it very easy to hear music and reproduce it immediately (including chord/key analysis, etc). It's fun to take random songs I hear during my day and go about dissecting them.
However it has its pain points. I waste time analyzing useless things like the hum of the refrigerator or the sound of water dripping because everything sounds like a musical note. Also, I can't stand people / instruments that are not in tune. This includes professional pop artists / singers -- a lot of them sound awfully off key to me, even though in reality they probably are within a tolerance level. Ditto going to karaoke with friends who cannot sing. It destroys my ears and gives me headaches.
