I don't remember if I mentioned this in a previous post but I got a job in a company that produces life-science products for laboratories, universities, and the like. I write operating manuals for the end user whom I don't know and imagine wears a white lab coat and handles beakers, test tubes, centrifuges, and other CSI type stuff.
It's a great job so far if not overwhelming for a budding technical writer as myself. I'm not experienced enough to feel comfortable using an XML content management system to make it easier for my company to reuse and translate technical documents. It's a really tough and confusing job but I think I'll manage.
My company is based in Hamburg and sent me to Germany to learn this software called TCToolbox. During my trip I noticed that nobody completely understands this program. When I think of it, I think of that smoke monster from the TV show "Lost". It's mysterious and invokes anxiety attacks when you see it.
OK. It's not that bad.
