    Is it "hard work dull", i.e. you get no spare time on site, or one of those cushy hour's work a day contracts? Makes a big difference. If the latter, I'd stick it out and skill up on related or other areas if possible.

      I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say ignore all the good advice and quit.

      Use your spare time to complete an application for the next series of the Apprentice and practising your cheesy lines for when you inevitably get selected.

        Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
        "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
        Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

            Apart for acquiring .Net skills the ability to cope with mind numbing boredom is the No 2 key skill in contracting. I suggest you take this opportunity to get some valuable practice.
