If it weren't for the fact that she immediately tells her audience to come at her all at once, I'd do, "I don't say/call coming one by one boring," but I can't figure out why she would say that then go on to say the rest.
How do you get "call" ? Your TL of the first line is pretty off. This 「~~ことは言わない」 is nothing about actually saying or not saying something. It means "I won't take ~~~ kinda approach.", "I won't allow myself things like ~~~", etc.

"Boring" does not really capture the nuance of まだるっこしい, either. It is like "really slow and lackadaisical"
