The New Boss

So a couple of weeks ago my department got a new boss. Our old boss is still there, he was just given a new position. He was not really boss material. He was more of a friend and never wanted to deal with any "real" problems. All in all a great guy!

There is nothing bad to say about the new boss, as of yet. Friday was the first time he and I actually interacted together. He was asking me what computer programs I knew how to use. I thought it was a little strange and at the end of the day he gave me a flow chart he wanted to add to the Quality Manual and "At my old job I had someone who did all this kind of stuff for me. I will need you to do this and this with the chart. I will need it for Wednesday."

Huh, can we say secretary? One thing I am not, is an administrative assistant. I was never trained as one, I never wanted to be one and the plain truth, I have no desire to become one. If the guy is looking for a secretary to do his dirty work, he had better let Human Resources know so they can hire him one. Another thing I don't do is fetch coffee, go make copies, don't answer emails for anybody else and I most certainly don't clean up after anybody. So if the track lighting in his office is dirty, well he'd best bust out his Swiffer and do it himself! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind helping out but there is a fine line.

So this week is a new week, I will continue to keep myself positive about this, but I will also keep a close eye on what is going on.
