I’ll work in your bookstore – no evenings or weekends please 🙂
Are you kidding? You can be my co-owner! Set your own hours! So fabulous, no?
co-owner – FABULOUS idea!
Ooooooo, sorry, Lynn. The correct response is: Who is XUP? (New Jeopary host, in case you didn’t get the reference)
Could I work in your bookstore too? I’ve always thought that would be a job I’d enjoy 🙂
In real life, I’m a technical writer so if you have any questions about it, let me know!
XUP — Are you a trivia fan? You should think about coming out for World Trivia Night next year! I could use your mad skillz.
Mel — You’re in. You can be the assistant manager! As for technical writing, I’ll definitely ask you about it when the time comes. I’m a software designer by trade so I’ve done a fair bit of documentation and manual-writing in the past — I think I just need to figure out how to break into the industry. I never really enjoyed programming that much and I think I would like the writing side of things a little bit better.
I’m another real-life technical writer. It’s okay…it pays the bills. I love having the blog on the side to do writing for fun.
