Haha Reap you ARE a dirty boy but that's why I love ya! And Steve, if I end up taking some time off, I have to say that a road trip down to a warmer climate isn't all that bad an idea!
I'm whipping up a portfolio of all of my technical writing that isn't NSFW... lololol... whcih equals approximately 2.9% of the technical writing I have done in the last decade! You guys get the good stuff; work gets the dull stuff about checking alkalinity and turbidity of drinking water. I think you get the better deal.
Let's hope all these good wishes translate into walking into that interview just cocky enough to floor them! I feel so much more ready to face the HR people after reading all this.
