I find the red thread I have seen in my career has been that when I feel I get caught up in a situation where I have no control of my environment that is when I start feeling bored. Just doing what everybody else is telling you. It is important to have an area that is one's own (IMHO) to have complete responsibility of - maybe that is missing in your work as well?

In that case you should speak with your manager, maybe there is some solution in your current job? Asking for more responsibility is always a good move.
