It wasn't tech. writing--that's for sure. I count digging ditches
while sick with the flu and pulling inch-long slivers out of my
flesh working 95-degree summer days in the lumberyard as being
a bit worse than ANY kind of writing. Writing is hard--but not that
hard--in the scheme of things.
For now, I'll keep writing about computers until I land that plush
job writing for the Weekly World News.
