Since the purpose of the job was "fun", and it wasn't fun, it seems quite smart to quit. You can find another activity that *IS* fun.
Can you make this a learning experience? Is there any way that you could have figured out in advance that it wouldn't be fun? Asking more questions? Talking to others who are doing the job? Were there any signs that you see now that you could look for in the future, so you would know that a particular opportunity isn't for you?
Jobs (and activities) and people need to be a good match. There is someone in this world who would love that job (like your boss...). And there are jobs and activities out there that you would love. This particular job didn't match well with you - so it is wise to let it go. Find something that *is* fun for YOU.
You didn't fail - you made a choice.
