Sorry for not posting

Sorry devoted readers.

I got a promotion at work, but before you start planning a parade and gift bags, it is not in fact going to further my career in movies or television. Well, not directly.

Let me explain.

The company I work for struck a great deal to the be the exclusive U.S. distributors of a high end clothing line coming out of Europe. Its all very good stuff. We run the website, handle the money and deliver the products.

Well, my boss was handling all of the customer service complains and questions. Until, he decides to stop. And about two weeks go by and he offers me the job. "You want more money right? Here's more responsibility."

Ok, so I got to work. I was something like 200 emails in the hole, getting the job. I had to slowly crawl my way out of it by apologizing and trying to help people.

So, about a week deep, I email my boss on a Saturday, in the middle of replying to emails. That's right, I was working on the weekend to get a hold of the situation. My email thanked him for the opportunity but I don't want the responsibility, we need to figure out another system. He replied telling me to keep at it, it will get easier, we can talk about this on Monday.

On Monday, I tell him I don't want to do it and I basically get an ultimatum. "do it, or I will find someone who can both jobs."

So, all this means that I am still working at it and that's why I haven't had any time to update. Because of a promotion, that doesn't help me. I get to keep my job in the business but the added responsibility has nothing to do with furthering my career as a writer in the business. But damn, can I write a bitching apology email with a helpful suggestion of which product to buy. (Like that is going to be helpful.)

I am looking at this as if it is all a test. I will master this and move on. However, I have yet to see a raise in my paycheck as of today, so that needs to be addressed soon, or else I am going to go on strike and shut this bitch down.
