Why is it causing you grief? Does the task matter? Will it help the company? Then why can't you suffer through it? Someone has to! Why should it be anyone else but you? I don't believe everything that we do for work ought to be enjoyable, sometimes it's tedious and boring. But we must suffer through it because it needs to be done. I personally believe that most people feel like you do when they don't see how it connects to the broader company strategy and what value it brings. So try to understand that. If it brings no value, then speak up because it's not worth doing.

This is my personal opinion and feelings, I know most people don't agree with it, but that's how I reason about boring work.

Life is too short to have to dread going to work every day, even if it's necessary for the company.
