The times in my working life which I find hardest to deal with are those times when nobody's given me any document-related work to do. The main problem at times like that is that everybody else apparently has better things to do.
This has also been known to crop up for me when I have to give a document to three of the people in the company I consider least likely to return the document to me. I don't much like it when I hand a document over, knowing that there is every chance of that document never being given back. Ever. It makes me feel like I'm handing one of my babies over to be sacrificed.
My personal method of getting over this is to rummage around in my pile of documents that could be profitably reviewed, until I find some that I can give to people who are much more likely to return them to me, properly reviewed.
Summarised, this means that when the Evil Paperwork Fairy is feeling unloved, she's likely to descend on somebody (or several somebodies) with a stack of work for them to do.

That explains the pile of pink paperwork on my desk then. :)
Not to mention many of the others you're likely to get. :-)
