Snapshot of My Work
Today, I am a Senior Technical Writer. My employer needed Disaster Recovery Documentation and on this day, in 2016, I started this job! I have been in this role for 3287 days (9 years). I am now 9 years beyond my Job Search 2016!
When I come to work, I log into my laptop which is connected to 3 monitors. If I open the lid of my laptop, I can actually use that screen as well. The first task I complete is to open a DOS batch file, located in the C:\RH folder which includes the commands necessary to back up my main RoboHelp DR-Doc project to the S:\Technical Documentation\_Storage folder, where my backups are stored in a folder structure by Year -> Month -> Day, which I prune in December.
The DOS batch file copies all of the Microsoft Word templates in my C:\Users\prhanson\Desktop\Templates in the RH folder.
I also store other projects in the C:\RH folder:
"C:\RH\20240830-MappingWordStyles"
"C:\RH\Dr-Doc"
"C:\RH\Dr-Doc-20250128"
"C:\RH\DR-Doc-20250303"
"C:\RH\DR-Doc-20250324"
"C:\RH\ESC"
"C:\RH\MappingWordStyles"
When I select the folders in the C:\RH folder and then right-click to view Properties, this is my result:

Automatically Highlight Key Data Video
From https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/automatically-highlight-key-data-in-excel?awt_a=f2Zj&awt_l=el1rKn&awt_m=gZ6VIDi3J9VR.Zj comes this intriquing idea. I was initially curious by the title as, in my mind, I was thinking about my MP3s that have names like this:What I am showing in the above example is the messy state of my MP3s. The above example reflects the multiple naming conventions I have tried to implement while never fully getting the job done. I thought, by the title of this article, I would be able to flag all but #5, which, I thought, I could specify, somehow, as being the standard to be followed in a file name after the 4th underscore. I'm not a super-duper proficient analyzer of data and every morsel of my analytical skills come from working as a Technical Writer since 2-10-1995, a mere 10987 days (30 years, 1 month, 1 day) ago.

Multi-level Dependent Drop-down Lists
From https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/multi-level-dependent-drop-down-lists?awt_a=f2Zj&awt_l=el1rKn&awt_m=giF57GPw89VR.Zj:
The majority of Excel users struggle with this one thing.
They set up drop-down lists manually.
They waste time updating them.
They think dynamic dependent lists are complicated.
But what if I told you there’s a formula that does all the heavy lifting for you?
- It updates automatically when you add new data.
- It removes the guesswork.
- And yes, it’s way easier than you think.
In this video, you’ll discover two game-changing ways to create dependent drop-down lists in Excel: one is super simple, and the other? A total mind-blower!
Download the sample file here!

IA Loses Again at OSU
They looked good in the first half. Then, their shots started to not go in. The response was to run down the floor and launch 3s... except those didn't go in. Like any competitor, OSU capitalized.
I don't blame them for launching 3s - they made 6 of 21 - so that strategy didn't work. Dix went 0 for 7 - so zero points after putting up 31 in an earlier game -- and P Sandfort was 5 for 16 so his shots weren't falling. Should Fran tell Dix and Sandfort to stop launching 3s? I am not a coach but I've heard announcers talk about shooting your way out of a slump. Is that an outdated idea?
Basketball is a game of makes & misses. OSU had more makes; IA had more misses. They have Purdue and then WI at home before heading out east for Rutgers & MD. My hope is that IA gets 2 wins at home and the mentality that it really doesn't matter what building they are playing in - they have the ability to win on the road. They have to find that mentality for any tournament(s) they want to play in after Sunday, 3-9, at NE.

This is where I stand. The 45th President, his power hungry cronies taking positions of authority in his Cabinet and administration, and the majority of Republicans in Congress are a real and active threat to me, my way of life, my child, all our children even and especially the futures of Republican innocent children not being fully educated out of bigotry, especially immigrant and LGBTQ children, neither no longer free, especially black children now in more danger and poor children and the children of the mentally I'll. And all or most of the adults I love.Some people are saying that we should give Trump a chance, that we should "work together" with him because he won the election and he is "everyone's president." This is my response:•I will not forget how badly he and so many others treated former President Barack Obama for 8 years...Lies about his legitimacy and hatred for his principles and his attempts to work within the system.•I will not "work together" to privatize Medicare, cut Social Security and Medicaid.•I will not "work together" to subvert the Constitution by illegitimately pushing unfit Cabinet nominees through on recess appointments without the advice and consent of the Senate.•I will not "work together" to build a wall.•I will not "work together" to persecute Muslims.•I will not "work together" to shut out refugees from other countries.•I will not "work together" to lower taxes on the 1% and increase taxes on the middle class and poor.•I will not "work together" to help Trump use the Presidency to line his pockets and those of his family and cronies.•I will not "work together" to weaken and demolish environmental protection.•I will not "work together" to sell American lands, especially National Parks, to companies which then despoil those lands.•I will not "work together" to enable the killing of whole species of animals just because they are predators, or inconvenient for a few, or because some people want to get their thrills killing them.•I will not "work together" to remove civil rights from anyone.•I will not "work together" to alienate countries that have been our allies for as long as I have been alive.•I will not "work together" to slash funding for education.•I will not "work together" to take basic assistance from people who are at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.•I will not "work together" to get rid of common sense regulations on guns.•I will not "work together" to eliminate the minimum wage.•I will not "work together" to support so-called "Right To Work" laws, or undermine, weaken or destroy Unions in any way.•I will not "work together" to suppress scientific research, be it on climate change, fracking, or any other issue where a majority of scientists agree that Trump and his supporters are wrong on the facts.•I will not "work together" to criminalize abortion or restrict health care for women.•I will not "work together" to increase the number of nations that have nuclear weapons.•I will not "work together" to put even more "big money" into politics.•I will not "work together" to violate the Geneva Convention.•I will not "work together" to give the Ku Klux Klan, the Nazi Party and white supremacists a seat at the table, or to normalize their hatred.•I will not "work together" to deny health care to people who need it.•I will not "work together" to deny medical coverage to people on the basis of a "pre-existing condition."•I will not "work together" to increase voter suppression.•I will not "work together" to normalize tyranny.•I will not "work together" to eliminate or reduce ethical oversight at any level of government.•I will not "work together" with anyone who is, or admires, tyrants and dictators.•I will not support anyone that thinks it's OK to put a pipeline to transport oil on Sacred Ground for Native Americans. And, it would run under the Missouri River, which provides drinking water for millions of people. An accident waiting to happen.•I will not "work together" to legitimize racism, sexism, and authoritarianism.This is my line, and I am drawing it.•I WILL stand for honesty, love, respect for all living beings, and for the beating heart that is the center of Life itself.•I WILL use my voice and my hands, to reach out to the uninformed, and to anyone who will LISTEN:That "winning", "being great again", "rich" or even "beautiful" is nothing... When others are sacrificed to glorify its existence.Signed,Kim SchmitzLori MinorMeg Eginton-CarmichaelLaura YoungJane Vincent TaylorMary Catherine ReynoldsMichael RennerBill and Linda MacKenzieJohn SlomanJim MurphyTom BradyKim TylerSally MargolisBill WalkerKaren CarlsonKeiji MuramotoPierre LescureBambi SampsonKim RoemersbergerBruce BoeckWes MeltonRhys LovellCarol KoosCristina OrtegaDaniella BarroqueiroGilford MooreDiane LathropBill VanceJoanne R.
