The Fringe Benefits Of Being A Lead

So, my job decided to promote me kind of into the lead position they had passed me over for earlier that I had mentioned in my first post about going back to school. My supervisor being the kind of guy that he is, gave me a sink or swim on the computer aspect of the job; ordering Master Production Records, ordering temporary employees, opening and closing the shop floor order, and taking care of the production report. It's a good thing I'm a fast learner and took plenty of notes and had support from the third shift supervisor who would stay over late (he does anyway to talk to this one girl on the line) and from the second shift supervisor who would come in early to help me out with any questions I might have had. I must say though that being a supervisor, or lead as it were, in my department is very boring. There is about a total of an hours worth of work that needs to be split up throughout the day. Include with that a half hour lunch and I have six and a half hours of fuck off time I need to kill. Now I understand why the supervisor is hardly ever in the room and he's always somewhere else talking to other supervisors or whomever. I kind of tried to do the same thing, but because of my own personal work ethic I find it hard to go into another department and bullshit with others distracting them from thier own job. Maybe my supervisor talks to others who have the same amount of fuck off time as he does and it doesn't interfere with job productivity. But those are the people that he knows. The people that I know work on the line and don't have that luxury. So my first week went well, a few curveballs were thrown my way that I feel I handled fairly. I have one more week to go before my supervisor is back from vacation. Ah, the fringe benefits of being a lead.
