bury me in this dress

Mom/Boss gave me a list of my duties and responsibilities in the company yesterday and I’m a bit disappointed with what she came up with. Based on the list, I’m the company techy so I’m in charge of the upkeep of computers, internet, etc. I’m also in charge of imaging which basically entails doing the graphics and web design as well as marketing and promo materials. Lastly, she put me in charge of seeking out more cost-effective ways in operating the business. I’m already doing all of the above and she likes my work but I thought I was supposed to learn how to run the business. Maybe she knows better but I don’t think my current duties and responsibilities are paving the way for me to become a good businesswoman. I thought that my training would be more on the managing side, learning about accounting, entrepreneurship, etc. Maybe I’ll be tasked that someday but right now, I’m the company geek. Don’t get me wrong, I like what I’m doing. Heck! Our company now has broadband and is using a router now so several computers can connect to the net at the same time. Used to be we only had a crappy dial-up ISP and it was costing us around P3000 a month. So I was able to lessen company expenses and I get to be online at work. It’s a win-win situation. But again, I don’t think this is a training in running a business.
