> I usually just do stuff that doesn't require any creativity or thinking or coming up with interesting solutions. You know what I do when I'm in that position? Try to work out how to automate it.

Of course, I never pass the thing that'd do that onto the boss, since then I'd be out of a job, but you get idea.
