fast turn-around

[cellio]

The administrative-support folks at my company are fabulous. The most recent instance of this comes from a conference I'll be attending this fall. After I finally got an authorizing signature on the relevant form (which took weeks), I asked about implementation. "Oh, [name] will take care of that for you." That was Friday. I now have a hotel registration, a better plane ticket than I'd been able to find on my own, and conference registration, with me not having to do anything more than provide the URL and approve the flight. Nifty. Not that I've done this a lot, but at every past employer I've had to do the leg-work -- and, by the way, buffer some things on my own credit card.

(ACM SIGDOC, the best conference I know of for technical technical writers. I wonder if I know anybody in Memphis, or anyone else who's going.)

However, my wife was exactly like you: BS degree in Engineering from CSUN, who happened to be a writer.

She went to the mommy track when our daughter was born and any part time true technical stuff dried up (although I'm sure she would listen for contracting gigs).
