Bored of programming

I have been in programming for about 6 years and feel like I am a bored of it right now.
I don't want to leave the field because of money and I do enjoy the work.

Do any of y'all ever feel bored of programming? What do you do to overcome the slump?

  • My last job was at a machine tool builder. We had to create a CMM program to prove to the customer that our machine could make what they wanted it to make. Usually had to do a CPK study for nearly every dimension on their part. Literally, every 2 to 3 weeks there would be a whole new part, totally unrelated to anything you had done before. Different company drawing standards, anything from complex GD&T to sketches on a napkin. Kept things really fresh, interacted with engineers from all over the country.
  • Too much of the same gets old no matter what it is. I turned a job down at a "emergency room" for jobs where they all came in new and they rarely saw them again. The 'seasoned' ones just showed it in their face, they appeared tired of the same of what I thought of something that never gets old. They expressed a desire to get 'intimate' with the job... I couldn't believe my ears LOL!

    Some people just think different especially the really bright ones I feel like they're the ones that struggle with this the most, so if you feel something... it probably means you're a smarty, artistic bloke!
