[RESOLVED] Double Jobs!

[jmsbond]

Here in our company, I'm not just a computer technician, I'm also the company website's developer. I'm also a network workstation installer. I actually applied for the webmaster position, but since I'm the one who knows hardware the best here, they made me the primary technician too. I'm not that good, I mean, I'm still learning, but I am the one who knows hardware the best in here. It's just annoying because I want to concentrate on the web development stuff. Not that I don't like the hardware tech stuff (I love it!), but it's all that I'm doing lately, and it's getting me away from all my web projects. Now they're breathing down my back for being behind with those projects. How can I get ahead!? They've got me doing hardware all the time!
Now I'm just wondering who else is in the same situation: doing something else in their company other than what they were really hired for. Thanks!

A few years ago l was working in a retail computer store, and l was working literally EVERY position in the place. Store policy dictated that there must always be at least one manager, 2 cashiers, and 7 sales/tech employees at all times. l worked a 12 hour shift on Christmas Eve with one manager and a cashier (l was also messing around with their network, to try to get registers and terminals back online)...things like that don't bother me though, l like working, and the job wasn't exactly challenging on its own, so the more the better.
In other words, if you need a stooge to do all your work for you for low pay, give me a call!

Lets see, I'm supposed to be re-designing our company's web site, when we are slow. I'm also the only tech on saturdays, but also take care of sales, service and just about anything else. I usually get about 2-3 hours of fixxing computers on saturday.

I am the same as Break Windows.

I am the Tech Director, Sales manager, Complaints Department (rarely used), Purchasing Dept, Returns Dept, etc.

The only thing I don't do is the accounts, but I don't think it will be long......

somewhat similar situation here, I was hired to be a network engineer, but since i know the most about hardware, I became the hardware go to guy, now I have people from all over the country, from within the company, calling me for hardware trouble shooting advice. It is hard to balance my "real" job duties, and those thrusted apon me. unfortunatly i have no solution.
