Read MoreHow Writers Can Help Others From Wasting Paper
Tweet Offices waste a lot. You see paper being thrown out without being recycled. When you’re a technical writer, you really see a lot of that going on. I’ve had people print out unnecessary items that could have been viewed on screen. For instance, in meeting, people create agendas.

People I know who are able to attend them become the object of my jealousy for a hot minute. With social media and technology, you can...
Read MoreCan I Stop Being a Loud Typer?
Tweet Even though I’ve been told that I type way too loud by a lot of people, I never really cared until today. I was loudly clanking on the keyboard when I thought “Wow, I do type super loud.” I tried typing lightly, but I kept making mistakes. My hands also felt heavier as though lead was pushing them down.
