I spent nearly a week organizing my case team leader's 800+ collected business cards and inputing them all into Excel since there was 'nothing else to do'. FML

"Structuring strategic relationships of the company"
lol
Granted I'm still in school, but if I was interviewing and saw "structuring strategic relationships of the company", I would ask how you did that.
Unfortunately, I think this is on of those really annoying and time-consuming tasks that dos nothing for you, but consume your time. I don't think there's a really good way to phrase this on your resume, and worse than that, if you phrased it well and was then asked about it during an interview, you would probably embarrass yourself by trying to promote the true worth and value to both your skill set and the greater team gained by you taking a week and organizing many business cards.
We've all been there, and have all done our share of true grunt work - this just seems like one of those instances to me.

Dude, your company doesnt have a scanner that you slide the business cards through and it incorporates everything into an Outlook v-card? B team or at least a secretary to take care of that sht. Please do not put that on your resume.
Sad to say but our 'receptionist' is so freakin' bored that btw her Daily News and the lastest trashy Romance novel she's happy to input for us..... To paraphrase The Epicurean Dealmaker: Sad. This is fucking sad.
