Well, people...After being in this profession for about 10 years, I've
finally been accorded the recognition I've always felt I deserved.
I just received a memo from a department manager with some work attached
and it started out:
Oh tech writer god.
Please review/correct/add
It just doesn't get much better than that. Think it belongs in my
portfolio?

My opinions are mine, and neither you nor my company can take credit for
them.
"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good
poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few
reasonable words.", Goethe
"Say all you have to say in the fewest possible words, or your reader
will be sure to skip them; and in the plainest possible words or he will
certainly misunderstand them.", John Ruskin
