As said last night, yes, some level of 'paperwork' is inevitable, but when it gets to the point that characters spend all their time writing reports and filing them, something is wrong ... just because the writer has a boring office job doesn't mean the character should too :)
I guess it's a bit different for RP though, since that's more about ongoing interaction than storytelling.
Well, it's a rather antiquated public-school sort of term.
