I think I'm pretty much the opposite.  I don't find programming to be 
very much fun at all.  Maybe I have yet to learn a language that I like, 
or have not learned one well enough to really be comfortable with it, 
but I have always found programming to be tedious and frustrating. On 
the other hand, I usually find the problem solving aspects of system 
administration to be the most fun. 

That said, I have been steadily losing the enthusiasm that I once had 
for it, and can envision a career change sometime in the future.  If you 
asked me a few years ago, i would have said that i can't see myself 
doing anything but IT.  Now I could see myself making some changes.  If 
I don't get out of IT altogether, I will probably make some sort of 
change in direction (not just change of job) in the future.
