I'm sure this goes against every best practice, but when I'm doing a bunch of admin stuff i issue a sudo bash and open up a new bash shell with sudo privileges
Not uncommon, and I do that a bit too (I use sudo -i su) but one of the good things about that is that it still tracks your user, it does not treat you as root for auditing.
