RE: Documentation estimates

["Johnson, Joyce" <JJohnson -at- abc-sg -dot- com>]

I once had a contract job writing ISO 9000 documentation - including detailed work instructions for everyone in the manufacturing plant.  The format we used called for the author's name on the work instructions.  I always used the name of the person whose job I was documenting.  I worked for the QA Manager.  After he quit, his replacement introduced me to any newcomers as the person who "typed" the ISO documentation.

I am always amazed when I see some of us referred to as "typists". What
makes you think that you are viewed as a typist? I have been a technical
writer with a few time-outs as a tech pubs manager for over 25 years. NO
ONE has ever suggested I was a typist. Certainly not to my face :-) Not
even a rumor. What makes you feel that you are viewed as a typist? I
don't get it.
