Question: Do you ever get bored at being a scientist?

From time to time, nothing will hold my interest forever. Sometimes repeating things bores me, and collecting data can be tedious when you’re just waiting to load the next sample into the machine.
To be fair, my hobbies get boring sometimes, so I don’t think it’s particular to science. I think somethings get boring, but as long as you don’t hate them, that’s ok.
