I hate house-cleaning. Am I good at it? Darn right. When I feel like it, I can get a month's worth of dishes hand-washed in about half a day (and that includes time for reading the Saturday paper and grocery shopping). Vacuuming? The whole house (cat hair and all -- I even vacuum lamp shades) in about an hour. Window washing? Ask me for my special window-washing technique.

Writing? I like it, it's fun -- de-mangling a sales proposal, clarifying an SLA, formatting and font-fondling a procedures document, finding holes in requirements, creating a Word template from scratch that helps green developers or system architects to give me the basics so I can whomp it up into something usable... it's all good. I could do it all day... oh. Wait. I do.

We are finally documenting developer reference guides for all our little applications (did someone say 1980?) because I helped to make a template the developers can use to scratch together their processes in the right order and with the right content (and also because their manager said to).

You might be good (even VERY good) at writing procedures, but unless you also enjoy it, you're going to put it on the backburner until you HAVE to do it, or you'll hand it over to someone else.


Karen Black in Toronto, thinking about sacrificing some disposable income to hire a cleaning person again -- there are just not enough days in the hour
