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.
>From an objective viewpoint, most of us begin life equipped with generic
interfaces and similar ouputs. We then transgress life attempting to mold
those interfaces and outputs to our liking, sometimes succesfully, other
times often impeded by environmental factors over which we have relatively
little or no control. In the end though, it all comes out in the wash.
You know what they say about opinions... (or how I learned to turn a
mountain into a molehill).
A poopoo reminder:
"Just Passin' Thru"
by Roger L. Deen
He claimed to be one of those few
Who detested what tech writers do,
So as the years rolled by,
He continued to cry
"I'll be gone soon-I'm just passin' thru."
Quoth he to all who would hear:
"Tech writin's for chumps, that's clear.
I'm smarter than you,
'Cause I'm just passin' thru."
He's been saying that now seven year.
When Judgment Day finally comes true,
And Saint Peter asks, "What'd you do?"
He'll answer with pride,
As he swaggers inside,
"I'm a tech writer, and I'm just passin' thru."
Jan Cohen
