Generally, I am surprised any time I meet a writer who tells
me that writing is all he or she does. At various points in
my time as a "writer" I have also:

1. Managed spare parts purchasing and shipping
2. Performed field installations
3. Performed internal development testing
4. Been an internal ISO auditor

Those are things that were ongoing. I couldn't begin to
count all the things I "rolled up my sleeves and helped
out with for a few days."

This got me thinking. How many technical writers out there find themselves doing other things, say on a temporary basis? By other things, let's say, "other duties as assigned."
