[flame_on] If, as a technical writer, you cannot maintain a 2-5 page
document where you know the subject matter better than anyone in the
world, you aren't a very good technical writer. [/flame_off]
On agencies...some are good, most are order takers. Good ones earn
their keep.

it wan't until I was at this current gig that I found out that my
title was "Sales Operational Manager". I don't know what that means,
but I do know is that nobody takes orders from me.
It's going to be real interesting to see what kinds of responses I
get when I go back on the block April 15th and put that in my resume.
