Re: Job Opportunity Anxiety

Yer talking about the very Future of Technical Communications (tm)... take
it! I'd *KILL* for this job!

By the time you get done with the project, you'll either never need to
worry about "traditional" techwriting again, or you'll be so sick of the
Whole General Sort of TC Mish-Mash that you'll glady take a job in the food
service or domestic engineering trades... either way, I believe you'll
never hafta look back.

Go for it....

I stepped wwwayyy outta my comfort zone as a mainframe op writing my first
technical document on a Mac 12 years ago... now I'd never wanna work on a
mainframe again...
