Careful, Alex, a Fox exec might see this. If I see a show next year about valets who daydream, I'm blaming you.
Unless you're running for office, there's no reason to care what "the public" thinks. (Maybe not even then.)

<snip>
But a technical writer? If the public thinks that anybody can write, then
what is the value added by a "tech" writer? What's the difference between
that and a "tech" valet parking attendant?
Or, what greater contrast than that between a guy who rules the universe,
and a guy who sits in a drab cubicle doing "nothing" all day?
