Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Connie, here's a tech writers salary survey that includes incomes in Utah.
It's from 2006. Looks like Utah is between $44-47K.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Soothing thoughts your way, belle.
My day went way too fast! I had a bunch of meetings, and I don't know where the hell the rest of the time went.

Even if I cut off a couple of K for lack of specific experience, that's nearly double what I'm making now. Excuse me while I hyperventilate. I wish I knew why success terrified me so.

Punishingly Intricate
Connie, My yearly salary jumped by quite a bit when I started as a tech writer with no tech writing but lots of writing experience back in 1999. The field needs good writers! Having actual technical skills won't hurt your prospects either.

I've never really known how to get a start in the field, so I'm proud of myself for jumping on this when it came available. It's certainly got a better future than tech support.

OK, I'm actually surprised by this: Clay Aiken comes out.

Surprised that he actually did it, I assume.

Oh yeah, of course.

“Not dead yet!”
And you know, maybe it doesn't have a damned thing to do with anything, but that's easily one of the best, most relaxed pictures I've seen of him.
