Ditto on the mind numbingly boring stuff. Coding can be a blast, as good as sitting up all night blasting alien hordes, when you like it. However, when you have to start writing unit tests or dealing with a customer who constantly changes their requirements (but of course the deadline can't shift) and adding another validation step because a user can't seem to understand that an email address cannot have 2 @ signs (seen it) then you really pray that next time you open your desk drawer you find a real life AR-15 and start doing some real damage. But, like I said, sitting and plunking away at something that captivates and thrills you can be one of the best feelings in the world.
