Thanks everyone for all the replies.
I multi task like a lot of us do, PA work is my main full time job, i've also been a complementary therapist for 13 years too. (my god is it that long)
I needed to be clear in my own mind, I feel better now I know I'm not the only confused soul out there

The respect & recognition thing is important as my boss doesn't trust his "secretaries" much, as he used to do most of the work himself as the standard of work was shoddy.(not mine)
Patience is the key here, i feel
I have worked hard to get respect in my company, and I'm very proud of what I do
