[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you so much for all of the replies. 
The position I have now is well below my education level (I have a PhD and many certifications, while this position does not even require a bachelor's degree ) and expertise (I've been with this company for 18 years)  which I am fine with. I am not looking for career advancement or any additional career development at this stage of my life and I've been very open about that with my employer  and supervisor.  I am not saying that I will never learn anything new, but there is nothing that I actively need to know to further develop any skills for what I am currently doing .

I could see a new person struggling in this role because there are a lot of details and balls in the air at one time. You need to prioritize and manage your time very well or you could get behind very quickly . 
But I've been here so long....I know when to throw the balls up and when they need to be caught. I have strong relationships with many department heads so I know who I need to go to and what I need to go to them to get things done . I have always been great at details and efficiency.

I will continue to explore additional work tasks I can help with and of course will always do the work that needs to be done and be available during my working hours. This is just such a drastic change from the daily grind I had before but I think part of correcting  it maybe me not being so efficient with things and letting projects draw out a bit longer than I actually would need them to.

This position  is just such a drastic change from what I have done for so long that I think I still may be in the transition period. Even after over a year. [/quote]
