An excruciatingly boring task can be interesting if you mock up or demo or test in a new lang or framework or back end or DB or ... My first scala - play framework project, first toy that tried to do something real, was an excruciatingly mind numbingly boring engineering raw data form entry page (like only the C and R letters of CRUD). Playing with a new framework for a demo/mock up was huge fun. Beware of the danger of the well known business anti-pattern where the "mock up" "demo" magically gets promoted to "production" when things spiral out of control and then things really hit the fan when it breaks or the requirements expand beyond all imagination. "This temporary mock up will be deleted on June 1st" or whatever probably needs to be on every page and in every header.
