I got to be a Documentation Analyst once! They had never had a writer,
and didn't have a pay category for it, and they decided to pay me like a
systems analyst. Voila!

Mind you, it was the California State Universities and Colleges system,
so neither systems nor documentaiton analysts were being paid all that
heftily. But part of my job did included analyzing other documents and
figuring out what was going on, so it was kinda keen.
