ANNOUNCE: Bill Hackos' Managing Your Documentation Projects Workshop:

Another project successfully completed! You met your deadline
and came in 15% under budget! Everyone's so happy! Your staff
has been dropping in all day to thank you for your great
management effort. Rumors are circulating about big bonuses.
You cheerfully whistle as you file your document plans and
drafts away for archive. You smile as you calculate your
productivity ratios, noting that once again they have improved.

You jerk awake as the 500-page new specification hits your
desk, dropped from three feet by an overly tired and grumpy
engineer. "We've made a few changes. No time to go over it.
You'll just have to figure it out."

Is your imagination running wild? Do your dreams seem out of
reach? Plan to attend "Managing Your Documentation Projects,"
an exceptional two-day workshop conducted by Bill Hackos,
Vice-President of Comtech Services and an internationally known
expert on information design and human productivity. Learn how
to control your projects so you can sleep better at night.
Pleasant dreams!

About posting ads:
Announcements on the TECHWR-L Premium Announcement posting
cost $50 to contact over 4900 TECHWR-L subscribers
directly each day for a week.

In an effort to provide a free service that allows you to post
announcements, jobs, and events, however, we have established other
services:

The TECHWR-L Calendar provides a free resource for you
to post announcements, activities, and events:
http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/calendar/

The TECHWR-L Employment Central provides a free resource
for you to post, browse, and search job listings and personal
profiles:
http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/employment/

The TECHWR-L Daily Summary Mailing, a separate mailing list
that summarizes new content posted to Employment Central and
the Calendar, is now available and can further help get your
message out to interested people:
http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/daily-announce-info.html

These resources are available at no cost to anyone, posters
or seekers, TECHWR-L subscribers or not. We encourage you to
regularly use these free services.

For jobs, announcements, and events that you specifically
want to be mailed directly to all 4900+ TECHWR-L subscribers
in the TECHWR-L Premium Daily Announcement, please contact Eric
(ejray -at- raycomm -dot- com) or submit your paid ad at
