OK, you're an analyst. Note, however, that this is an additional
duty and not a promotion, so don't expect any sort of pay or
benefit increase, except for the privelege of your new title as
"Technical Writer/Analyst". You may now cut in line in the cafeteria
in front of the mere Technical Writers and just behind the real
Analysts. Have a nice day, worker. heh.
