You make them assign the task to you, don't just do it because it's necessary. Each task that is not part of your actual assigned job needs to be assigned to you. Every time. If they want you to do it every time it's needed, ask for them to update your job description to reflect it.

It's called a white strike because you are burying them in paperwork, but not walking off the job.

My listed job duties are infinitely vague and I'm responsible for everything.

Bonus, you can ask for clarification on everything.
