Mike, Sorry I'm so late responding. I've been out of town working on pianos for "real" money since last Wednesday. :-) Here at the University of Houston, my immediate supervisor is the Assistant Director of the School of Music. He's the one who, essentially, runs the department on a day to day basis. The Director is involved basically with the public relations/fund raising/politics aspect of the SOM. He also does the yearly evaluations for everyone. I think usually he just puts in good numbers, varying them a little to 'look' good and has me read it and sign it. So far, knock on wood, it's always been a very high rating because there haven't been complaints. I have a VERY understanding faculty to work with. :-) I now have a very respectable budget, so when I need something, I just order it. If it's a "major" expenditure, such as a complete rebuilding job that is being contracted out, that I have to get permission for. Otherwise, I'm pretty much my own boss.
