Absolutely always. I'm fascinated with how translation works, and I only ever take on projects that are interesting. Luckily, I'm interested in a lot of things, so I'm hardly ever bored.
I find technical translations pretty boring, so I avoid them as much as I can. Given my usual volume of work with regular, satisfied clients, I only do them as a huge favour for clients who pay me so well I can hardly refuse.

Since I translate mostly technical documents, the contents are usually intereseting and add a lot of konwledge. Learning is always a pleasure.
But I must admit there are several documents that are a P.I.A., boring, poorly written, Chinglish, apps that seem to be developed by adolescents, and the worst of all: term papers or theses of students in human sciences - these are pure torture.
