Testing is Boring

I hear some people saying that testing is boring, is it really? I think you need to look at the way you do your testing if you are bored after few rounds of testing. You need to be really creative during testing, I think manual testing is more of an Art rather than Science. Art is all about creativity, how can creative tasks be boring? Does this mean that some crowd are really not creative and just follow the document that they wrote or that was given to them and so feel the boredom?
I think I became more creative because of all the testing that I did for all these years. When I test a product, there are hundred of thoughts and ideas that comes into the mind for every screen that I look at. I always loved the Adhoc part of testing (Now more famous as Exploratory testing but I still like to call this as Adhoc testing where we explore a lot of things/ideas). It's so much of fun and never in the last 12 years i felt bored of testing.
