No worries, you're normal! That'd make me mad and stressed and worried, too. So if I'm normal,then I guess you're normal, too. :) Are there hr people you can talk to about this that will just listen and not think ill of you for "complaining" so to speak? It doesn't seem right to me that they would make you do all that extra stuff especially if some of it's outside your expertise. I imagine plenty of work places just take advantage of hard workers like you and make them do extra stuff because they do their work well and they can just get away with it without giving you a raise. You may need to stand up for yourself, but I'd be scared to that as well. Wow, long comment...I guess I had a lot to say about this. :)

Thanks for the comments and advice. I've been leaning toward locating my original job description (I think it's on my home computer) and seeing what responsibilities it details. Not having a boss at the moment means that I guess I will be speaking to the one person who fills out our local HR department, at least to start with ( ... )

More help is always welcome, even if no raise comes. At least that's how I feel. Not that I work much in a "normal" job. :)
