I took the bull by the horns yesterday and contacted our HR Director.  She was able to clarify my new duties are now official but apologised that my boss didn't get to update me before he went on holiday.

That aside a few of the secretaries have kicked off discussions with their union rep about ways of working and grading.  Unfortunately as is the case, union business cannot be discussed with non-members so myself and one or two others have not attended their meeting this morning.

To be honest as long as I have had my new duties confirmed and I have informed the team in question that I will be supporting them, I am happy with things.  Having only been here a few weeks short of 2 years I don't feel I have any reason to question ways or working or grading.  The other secretaries have obviously had to put up with the situation for longer than I have so perhaps have more of a case.

Anyway my weekend starts at lunchtime today and so far the sun is shining.
