So I’m not exactly sure what other high level tasks/responsibilities you may be missing out on when you have to manage the office. EA work is typically admin work - phones, travels, calendars, expense reports, mtgs/luncheons, etc. Believe or not, a job well done actually leads to more work and often harder or better work.

We also get a mini break when our boss is traveling as the stress level is generally lower and we can catch up on our workload.
