TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and good wishes. A few
people mentioned tools and/or skills they thought would be marketable, and
others let me know that Web designers/writers aren't doing too well right
now either. I appreciate each and every response.
My decision to move wasn't made easily, because I was going to have to
break up my family in the process (divorced mom, three teenagers). Staying
in Houston was not a possibility with all resources depleted. However, the
situation has changed and my whole family is going with me. While the job
market in Mobile may be poor, we will have a roof over our heads, food to
eat, and a support network of family and friends.
If I sounded like I was complaining, maybe I was, because a year of
unemployment will leave a person pretty frustrated, especially when you
have a family to support and a place has been your home for twenty years.
Change can be good,however, and we have all gained some peace from having
made the decision. I am going to look into grant money, learn some new
skills, and enjoy being close to my aging parents for the first time in
twenty-seven years.
Did you need to know this much about me? Probably not, but I just wanted
to bring an end to the thread--my original thread, anyway. Thank you
again, each of you. You have each been blown a kiss by a southern belle
heading back home to the heart of dixie...
