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.
The quote below was one that I always had posted in my
office... next to "Sometimes it's just time to shoot the
engineer and start production" -- a sign from one of
my subcontractors. Wouldn't put it up if you work at
the USPS, though... ;)
