Subject:Prelude to 2 weeks ! From:dan -dot- gallagher -at- pulsartech -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 6 May 2004 08:57:44 -0400
Hi folks,
(John, this is a little bit sappy, so you may not want to read it)
Thank you from the depths of my heart and soul to all of you kind people
that have responded to my frustrating situation. This morning I go into a
meeting about this manual. The protoge I referred to is the product
manager. We deal with product managers here, not our bosses directly. I
have no idea what to say in this meeting, I'm just going to sit there and
look happy to be employed while considering the alternative. I do have a
word doc and drawings to work from/with already. So I basically have to be
an "architect" of this information. With this line of product the product
managers and engineers don't like if tech writers write about the product
so they try to provide as much content as possible. But it's still seems
like a big undertaking for 2 weeks though. I'm a little nervous but I've
gotten through worse.
You folks are the best. Karen, Geoff and George (& others I've thanked
already), thanks very much.
I'm sorry to have let out my frustration in posting yesterday, but it's
sure nice to have people like you in my corner. I guess it's better to
vent/release via email than in person right?
