Breaking in the New Boss

Recently, my old boss accepted a promotion however his position has been filled by a recent graduate with a Masters of Health Administration with little experience advocating for special needs children. Although, I must admit that he is great at creating charts and forms for his underlings to fill out. Normally, I wouldn’t care about the new forms but I am having my files audited by the court (every year several advocates are audited by the court system), homework, and a to do list that seems to grow by the minute. The honeymoon period for the new guy is over!
Each advocate has unloaded some of their tough cases onto him. Personally, I gave him a case where the parents call me at least twice a day (each time they call I have a new form to fill out). Also, a case where the child spits, bites and throws up on demand, usually on me. Clients are asking to be returned to their original advocate; however I am very happy for him to handle my clients.
My motto is: Life is easier when you point the boss in the right direction
