| 1. | Brown Envelope Day | ||
|
A day that is entirely taken up with necessary but mind-numbing administration, usually to clear the decks so you can get on with the stuff you're supposed to be doing. "If I don't get this tax return done today, my head won't be clear enough to finish Ulysses. Time for a Brown Envelope Day." --James Joyce, Trieste, 1921.
