is it really a promotion if you don't say yes first?

so apparently i'm the new technology program director for the non-profit company i work for. it was announced at a meeting this morning. the funny thing is i was never officially offered the job nor did i official accept it. and because of that, i have no idea when this takes effect, what my new salary is (and i better get a raise since i got the brand spanking new title) or what my responsibilities are. at least i know who i report to now (my boss moved over to another ladder rather than up the same ladder, so he's not my boss any more).
and i seriously better not have to give up the teaching i do now...i know i'm good at teaching and i'm not good at managing. there's one thing i've learned about myself in the 33 years i've been on this earth and that's that i'm good at learning things, processing them and passing them along to other people in a way that they can readily understand. i'm terrible at telling people what to do and then doling out consequences if they don't.
regardless, this just confirms that i need to get on the writing thing and make my living that way...and find teaching gigs (whether in non-profits or college level) as a supplement. otherwise, i get screwed...and it's definitely not the good kind of screwing.
ps...i just want to amend the above by saying that i've loved my job for the past 3 years and i'd hate to lose what i took this job in the first place....being with the kids and teaching computers.
current mood: confused

Its Angie.
I debaded with myself on if I should or should not comment this. I dont know.
I just dont know if it looks like I'm prying or something but I figured youmust not have cared. Obviously you know I already read your blog.
I mean you probably never read what I post but I know you get busy or you forget but thats besides the point.
The point is I want to comment on your site. about Camp being over and everything.
You still seem super stressed.
Obvisously it wanst Camp this year but than again .....
Eh.
Anyway I'm sorry about bugging you last Friday.
I shouldnt have hung around the desk but I honestly didnt hear Steve.
Sorry but my mind's been in some third world.
Anyway I dont know if its legal to say this. heh heh. But I miss hanging in your room and I miss you actually being able to deal with my presence.
I wouldnt say this on here but I havent seen you and from the looks of it I probably wont get that chance today ....
But it just seems like lately you dont like me or i'm annoying you for some odd reason but its all kinda adding up and I've been pretty distant from everyone lately so I dont know. Maybe its a vibe I'm giving you or something.
Later.
Its Angie.
I erased your email by accident so I figured I'd answer you back on your blog.
Besides that my email address is so crappy it'd make you wanna pop a bottle of something.
heh heh.
Ugh.
Anyway, eh thats tough. Now I could see why you'd be so stressed out.
I'm guessing you husband returned safe? ....
Well I figured you didnt hate me. I was just completely lost. I did think maybe I had seriously annoyed you tho.
I'm good for it.
I've been annoying alot of people lately while not even trying to.
It just happens ....
Anyway, I'm really glad that I'm not annoying you.
Its been a bad week for me too.
I've been really sick from this tooth.
I know I have an infection in my tooth.
It sucks. Really. I was hoping it'd pass. Just the thought of knowing it needs to be ripped out makes my cracked tooth achy.
Ugh.
But its not getting any better.
I need to stop avoiding thee obvious.
This tooth has to come out and I need some antibiotic for my face.
Ugh.
Not only does the tooth make me nausous an irritiable but it makes my right ear hurt(which is the side where the troubled tooth is) and today it started to affect my eyesight.
John saw it.
He said I need a Dentist bad.
I know that.
You know I know that.
Ugh.
Its just dreadful.
Anyways thanks for sending me an email and letting me know.
I hope your husband has returned safetly and I hope you have a better week.
P.S. Guess what? ...John just showed me these t-shirts he got made of his latest album cover. They look really awsome.
20 bucks tho.
