I have a similar issue. I can usually work up excitement about something for a month, at best, then I tend to move on. I don't know if you can really label it as depression, as I don't have any of the other manifestations of the illness, but I do get bored easily. I'll usually play a game until about the end then start something new in an endless cycle of half-beaten games. As for your job... I don't think most people are really excited about work. I know I'm not. I'm not even satisfied with what I do, but it's a paycheck so I guess that's enough for now.
Waning excitement is one of those things that almost everyone has to deal with. New things are exciting, whereas the things we've done more often tend to get dull.
The only real advice I can give you is twofold. First, you can attempt to invest yourself more fully into something to stave off the waning excitement. Secondly, you can try to involve others in the things that interest you and hope they can motivate you to stay excited about it. Which is something I try to do. It helps, for awhile.
