I had such jobs for nearly eight years, when I worked on my PhD thesis and
on an assistantship in astrophysics. Astrophysics has been my hobby since
longer than I can remember, and during these years - which I truly enjoyed
-, I could hardly ever put my work out of my head.
Leaving astrophysics was not an easy decision, but now, two years later, I
am glad to have work I am far less fond off; work I can leave in my office
when I go home.

I love writing, which is why I became a tech writer instead of a software
developer, but while I do write in my free time, and while the things I
have learnt at my job have influenced the way I write, I have never thought
of writing a user's guide.

Ciao,
Kerstin
