TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I posted last week about the bizarre staffing situation I was in, and I
got 17+ responses saying "nah, you're not so bizarre." Thanks! I'm
feeling a bit overwhelmed and relatively clueless, but the responses gave
good advice and even better war stories. The moral? This, too, shall
pass.
The upshot is that I sat down with my boss and defined my role in the
coming year, and from that information, I have a better picture of what
help I'm going to need.
Again, thank you for your support and information. For folks who are STC
members, I hope we can get a reunion of 'net users going at the
conference next year.
