Is being bored at work worse than being stressed?

I'm not trying to complain, but I've been at my new job for two months and I'm bored to tears. I get all of my tasks done in under 2 hours, then I'm searching for things to do the rest of the day.

While this may sound ideal for some, I want to be challenged. I don't want to be an account assistant forever, I want to run client accounts. Should I be looking for a new job after such a short time at this new company?

And you're doing the right thing by creating your own work. Just find the right time and place to present what you've accomplished by self-starting.

I would ask for a different role that's more challenging or find something else to do that is fulfilling. I say that because when I get bored at work, I get complacent and that's not good for the business.
