These are certainly two awesome jobs that I won't apply for.
Either of these jobs would be awesome... if I were qualified.
OR
If I were qualified, either of these jobs would be awesome.
I enjoy my work as a technical writer in HCIS. I reached my 6 year work anniversary on 3-28-2022!! Considering that in my previous employers, I did not reach a 6 year work anniversary. Prior to working here, my previous employers were:
- NDP was 3 years
- Jordan Systems was 7 months, 3 weeks
- Quintrex Data Systems was 12 years, 2 weeks
- Unnamed Hellhole in southern Iowa was 5 months, 3 weeks, 4 days
- Pearson was 4 years, 7 months, 4 weeks
While I am half-way to reaching my record - 12 years at Quintrex, I believe 6 years is pretty cool, especially when I really cannot imagine still being at any of those other companies. To be clear, I have had a good work history, despite the time I spent at the Unnamed Hellhole in southern Iowa.
If I have anything to say about it, I will work another 5114 days (14 years) from 3-28-2022 until 3-28-2036, which is when I will have 20 years of service. Prior to working here, I worked as a technical writer for 7717 days (21 years, 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days) so reaching 20 years of service does mean that I have more years of experience (by 1 year, 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days) as a software technical writer than I have as a disaster recovery technical writer, but I can live with that.
I don't think I can justify working until 5-01-2037 - with 7704 days (21 years, 3 days) of service here just to top my software technical writer years. I would be alive 24620 days (67 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 6 days) if I worked until 5-01-2037. I do want to retire someday....
