Torpor for the Team Leader in Training

The job yo-yo's between terror and torpor. Right now, torpor rules the day. It's hard being this far from home with too much to do. It's much harder being this far from home with nothing to do.

My job is to be a team leader in training. I'm trying my best to fulfill this. The problem lies with the fact that my team leader is a hands on guy who wants to control everything himself. I've had numerous tasks assigned and then taken away from me. This morning for example, I was taking notes for a flow chart that needed to be compiled. Halfway through the meeting, he took over.

So what's my job now? Good question. I'll get back to you when I know what it is. In the meantime, I sit here waiting to jump on any task that gets placed before me. I just completed getting the flow chart into the computer. Lunch is in about half an hour. Here I sit. I'll be here for the next five and a half hours.
