For the past 21 days I have doing the job of my Supervisor. My supervisor is no longer my supervisor. This has been true since May 2. I was asked..."for the next two weeks" can you please look after things and kinda fill in this position. And I have. It is supervising 2 "clients" and 5 staff. It is a lot of paperwork and what not......I learned over the last two weekends that it is a lot of weekend on-call stuff too.
This has kept me pretty busy. I did get off of work this weekend - but believe me - I was on the phone so much I shoulda just been at work. There was supposed to be a meeting last week to determine the fate of this situation. But guess what - meeting was cancelled and it was stated that it would be rescheduled some time before the middle of July. So, is it wrong of me to be asking the question - "Are we going to make this official or what?" A lot of paperwork I have to turn in involving several different departments at work don't want to accept it because it has to have a supervisor signature. I was told to sign them. Then they want a lot of explanation as to why "so and so" isn't the supervisor anymore and who is now. I say a lot of "I am not sure" and "unofficially" and "HOW?". I am not to proud to ask questions when I need to learn something - but people are not so forth coming with the needed information when there is no "official" word. I can't really blame them. But at the same time it makes it hard on me - the "unofficial supervisor".
I think the hardest part is - what do I have to the means to do? Can I do this and that or do I need "YOU" to do it for me since I don't really have any authority. It is pretty frustrating. Can you tell? So, I sent an email this morning with the question in it - "are we going to make this official".
So, this is what I have been doing lately. I am also planning my vacation! I am getting so excited! I will be busy a lot between now and then - but I am hanging strong. Hope everyone has a good week.
