paper pusher
An office worker; one who works in an office and deals with forms and reports all day; one whose work is dull and without meaning.
Office workers deal with a lot of paper -- forms, reports, letters, memos, etc. And some workers simply move all that paper from one place to another, pushing the paper from desktop to drawer and back again.
