There are three responses:

1. "Interesting" has more to do with the person who is being interested than the task. There are people who insist on telling me about various sports statistics as if it is amazing and interesting, and they really want to meet famous athletes. There are others who really want to work with the machine code etc. Can you maintain interest?

2. I bet you even the ideal interesting jobs you can think of: say Elon Musk's job running multiple firms probably feels like yours from the inside. Board upset that he can't get the manufacturing levels up, sleeping in the factory, trying to figure out what is going wrong by staring at who knows what while asking SpaceX to hold off on the meeting this week.

3. Sleep early and drink caffeine -- not kidding -- and your job might seem more interesting.

Edit: There is probably someone out there complaining that they have to figure out boring technical details when they really want to learn more about the business challenges.
