Maybe not the first, but definitely not the last rule of OE is to stay mediocre. Don't draw attention to yourself and complete projects by the deadline.

If you want to break the monotony, you can always volunteer for a boring task or project. I wonder though, how many tasks/projects is too many? A few per year? One every quarter? One per month?

HAHAH You are so right OP. You definitely do not want to draw any attention to yourself and I have also learned not to show them you are too good at your job because then they will start dumping more and more on you which leaves little time for another job.
