One more thing.... How much do you guys keep bossie informed?  When I first started I was telling him everytime I needed things like a service call on a copier or fax... I guess I kinda was thinking I needed permission to do that.  Now I know he doesn't need to know.  But I always question what I should be telling him.  Do I tell him about employee conflicts and stuff?  Even minor ones?  Part of me wants him to know I am handling these situations otherwise I feel my role here goes un-noticed sometimes.  He has no idea how much time I spend putting out fires here when it comes to the computers and equipment etc.  But at the same time, I know he has more important stuff to handle.

How do you admin's figure this stuff out?
