You might suggest that with all the supervisory responsibilities he has to do, your super has only had time to do 3 to your 60... give him the benefit of the doubt since you don't want to be seen as insubordinate to a superior even if you don't have a lot of respect for him.

I'm not sure how to talk down about this guy while being classy lol. I think I'm just going to not really mention HIM, but just mention how I've been feeling. Maybe I'll just say "I feel I don't have enough help with the amount of work I'm doing" or something like that.

Good edit, Marilyn. We should all collaborate sometime on a "How to talk to the folks at work" book!

Lindsey,
I'm so glad that you got up the nerve to ask for a raise. Congratulations! That's not an easy thing to do. I'm the type to do one thing at a time, so I would discuss the raise at the first meeting with my boss. Then, once I felt that we had a good working relationship, I'd request a second meeting and discuss the other issues. Bringing a negative (your supervisor, etc.) into a positive meeting - and he certainly sounds positive about you - offsets the energy. JMO and best of luck. Keep us posted.
