Louise asked: "Is being [a] technical writer boring?"
It depends on your attitude and the material you are documenting.
Actually, it seems that frustration is a more common hazard based on a few years on this list. Not necessarily frustration with the work, but frustration with the challenges that come from dealing with SMEs and PHBs.
YMMV -- I like tech writing. I've been doing it since the late 70s.
