Lisa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked, "Do you get to travel as a technical writer? For what purposes do you travel? Do you wish you could travel more? Or less?" In my current position, I only travel occasionally. However, I recall being offered a USAF contract position that was 90% travel! I was thrilled with the idea of going all over the world, but worried about my two cats who'd be left alone most of the time. Frankly, I prefer not to travel too often. Hotel beds make my back hurt; rental cars all are different; accents, intonations, and word choice changes from place to place (and they always think YOU sound funny!); and changing time zones messes with my head. On average I travel once a year for business and once a year for pleasure. That seems sufficient for me. :) Arroxane ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
