Dealing with “back office” mistakes is one of the most frustrating parts of his business.

Not familiar with it. Steven Banks is an entertainer who did a one man show many years ago, wherein he played an easily distracted procrastinator. His boss was Mr. Buttle (butthole). It was a funny bit, but not many people know about it.
