I do believe that supervisors should be *willing* (and preferably able) to do 'most everything, but I also know that their own jobs have an entirely different set of demands that may make them unable to do a given thing at a given time. In which case I see nothing wrong with the supervisor delegating what zie least likes doing and focusing on the things that (a) zie must do and (b) zie prefers to do.
In an ideal workplace, this would be an occasional thing, and when the supervisor had more time/fewer demands zie would pitch in and do the scutwork right alongside everyone else.
Hm. I'm suddenly reminded that I do not work in an ideal workplace...
