Are you just tired of doing the same old work? Have you done a great job at the work you've done? Have you done everything possible to keep yourself busy? If so, it may be time to have a conversation with your manager to discuss more work/responsibility on the job. Taking control of the situation can show initiative and work in your favor. No matter what the outcome of the conversation is, you look proactive. If you wait for your manager to come to you, it will likely be in the form of a reprimand. If you have one, you might also consider asking your Human Resource manager for advice. If other positions in the company are available that match your skillset, you might find the challenging career of your dreams right down the hall!
Before you do anything rash, take a close look at what is happening around you. I had a coworker that complained of the same thing. She hated the monotony of the work and said she wanted a challenge. The problem was that she WAS lazy and complacent. When the supervisor approached her with opportunities for new and different types of work, she rolled her eyes and complained, "Great! More boring work!" She is now at another company doing the same boring work for $5.00 less per hour.

You either love your job (or at least like it) or you don't. You can't pretend. I'd say you need to take stock in what you need from a job. I can only speak for myself, but in my job, I have a lot of responsibility, so I feel important. It requires a lot of creativity, but it requires analysis as well. I get to deal with a lot of people. And I sit in my office some times, but I get to go out other times. It's varied. Sometimes I don't mind just doing mind numbing support staff work. It's like clearing the pallet. (I'm an attorney on the felony team at a public defender's office if you are interested). Other jobs I've had bored me and burned me out. Mostly, what bugged me was a lack of responsibility and that others, with allegedly far more knowledge, got to do fun things I had to do grunt work. Being told you are a grunt isn't a good thing. I don't like having a boss lord over me.
With all that, I still get bored with my current job sometimes. Anyone who says they are enthused 100% of the time is either lying or have some people that keeps them from enjoying other aspects of life. So you are going to have those times when you aren't enthused. It's part of life. Everyone has those periods. Even your bosses and other staff members. You may not notice that they are bored, too, because you either aren't paying attention to them or they hide it well. But what to do about it?
Like I said, take stock in what you need. If you need a faster paced environment, either change jobs or change your current work place. By thinking outside the box, come up with some new thing your work place can do. Maybe a new produce or a new way of doing something. Make yourself even more useful to your employers that way. Don't complain. Couch it in positive terms. People hate complainers.
But if you can't change your current work place, you need to change your job. Take stock in yourself and look for your next great adventure. I took a cut in pay once to do this (switching from civil law to criminal law) and it was the best decision I'd ever, ever made.

Find a creative way of doing the job better, more effectively, in way you'd like. For example, if it's monotonous, can you put it on auto-pilot and add a new dimension (say personalization) to it that's not monotonous, and that will add value to what you do?

Know why your are doing you job. Every body know how to there job, but to move ahead you need to know why. Then you can see what your are doing and look up and down the chain of command and maybe be able to stream line some thing.
