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 moved from Reading, SE England, to Edinburgh, SE Scotland, turning *down*
a job offer with a hefty payrise to take a noticeable pay cut (not quite the
largest I ever took: that would be when I went from contracting to salary).
Now I have slightly less money in real terms (about 10%) and a lot less
money in pounds and pence (30%).
But I live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, where there is
a pleasant and interesting route on foot to anywhere in the city centre: I'm
paying about 30% less in rent and council tax, and I have all the advantages
of living in a capital city plus a commute to a job with fun people and
Dilberts over the Forth Rail Bridge, which celebrates its eleventy-first
birthday this year. Now if I had that and lots of money *too*, I'm sure I
could think of new things to grumble about...

Kittens: Superior disdain, lethal weaponry, and gestures of calculated
affection, all wrapped up in a fluffy bundle of total cuteness that money
can buy but most likely won't have to. Mmmm, kittens.
