is an odd sensation after 28 months of working, but I can honestly say I have not been this happy since about 2002 (when I went back to school after taking a year off to work). However, the reason I am s happy this time is that I am finally into a program that I enjoy, and it is something I know I will thrive at. Instead of dreading class and forcing myself out the door, I am now eager to get to school, wanting to learn something new about some programs I am working in, or a new way to conceptualize my approach to writing, or just see a bunch of my friends (never had that level of interaction with classmates before).
All in all, I would not trade my time at university for anything else, but I wish I had known about this program a couple years earlier at Algonquin College, as this is what I was meant to do.

bsulpher - September 20, 2007 (04:11 AM) I have decided to do technical writing, and I have never felt such a good fit with my school subjects before. It is definitely something I can not only do for the rest of my life, but something I would want to do for the rest of my life. |

In any event, congratulations on finding that niche where you belong. For me, I think that niche is creative writing. That should by now surprise no one. |

Well, actually, he left 2 months ago but I was able to describe pretty much everything the new guy needed to do. He comes to me. What's cool for me is being able to find typos etc and kicking them to him so he doesn't have to worry about that. |

bsulpher - September 26, 2007 (12:44 PM) Yeah, the whole process involved is quite neat... I am learning a lot of stuff that makes total sense, but without the heads up I never would have realized them. As for guide writing, it is technical writing (by my count anyway), but such an odd branch of it only some of the skills pass over to the trained tech writing. |
