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.
Many thanks to those who gave me advice about the dilemma I posted last
week or so. I received dozens of confidential replies, all of which were
sincere and helpful. In fact, I followed the advice of one techwhirler,
who said (and I paraphrase), "You should take a few days off to calm down
while they move you back to your old office." This Thursday and Friday,
the movers will move my stuff back into the old office while I take two
days off--two bonus vacation days at the company's expense (the days will
be charged to overhead). My bosses seem contrite and eagerly accepted this
form of *rest*itution. Again, many thanks for helping me through this
soap-operatic episode, which was, as one techwhirler put it, worthy of a
Dilbert cartoon.
