RE: Business Analyst vs. Tech Writer

["Lauren" <lt34 -at- csus -dot- edu>]

She's not much of a friend.  More like a "friend" through work associations
and she said that she was capped on how much she could pay me.  I made a
promise and I had other important and pressing issues going on, so this job
was somewhat easy compared to the other things that I am dealing with right
now.
