Promotion? I think not.

My address to the group of social workers went much better than i thought it would. There was a loud, angry applause in response to my speech and when I asked for questions there were of course, none. Since then though Alvah has decided that I should be promoted. He said I deserved some recognition and a promotion for all my hard work. He wants to open a new department called the Women's Welfare Department and he wants me to run it. I told him no thanks. Sure, it'd be nice to step out from my back page column on "home decorations" and take on something worth two cents but for now I am happy right where I am. It is amusing and I can write anything I want to there and no one notices or cares because I'm writing for a tiny column on the back page. Of course this was all before he found out exactly what was in my speech. What can I say? It was way more fun to make the social workers angry than it was to tell them what they already know.
