Admin. Not exactly a word to fill you with joy, right? It’s the very tedious and time-consuming spectre that looms over adult life. The logistical equivalent of the most boring person in the room, who makes everyone else more boring by some sort of osmosis. Absolutely no one’s favourite way to spend their time.
And for many of us, it’s not just deeply dull. It’s also strangely... dread-inducing. Tasks that should, in theory, not take more than 15 minutes max have a habit of metamorphosising into something huge and terrifying, the longer that you put them off. They pile up in the back of your mind, taking the form of a sort of bureaucracy bogeyman who seems impossible to vanquish.
