Having fun makes anything more enjoyable by definition.
The thing is, you don't neccessarily have to enjoy or like what you are doing to have fun. In my experience, having fun is more about who you work with, rather than who you work for or what you do. I don't particularly like my current job, but I like the people I work with quite a bit. I don't think I would put up with nearly as much crap from my employer if we didn't have a shrine to Napolean Dynamite and daily shock treatments. I've had some pretty boring jobs in my time, factories, garbage companies, IT... But even some of the most repetitive and boring were really fun thanks to some great people. The problem occurrs when the fun people leave, or the crap outweighs the fun. If the shock treatments aren't working anymore at this point, you have to move on.

But I don't want my data storage media to biodegrade. I want it to survive a nuclear war.
You could probably save a few bucks by putting yourself in an inert plastic bubble instead of buying all new furniture etc.
