The current strips with "Tina the brittle tech writer" are, well,
interesting.
This morning Dogbert teased her about the difference between word processing
and technical writing. Then the boss asked her to redo the org chart because

take the minutes.
I hope he's on the 'we don't get no respect' thread and working to
something. And while I'm at it, I cringe to think what Scott's stereotypical
male technical writer would be like.
