What's that mean?
I'm writing . . . in fact I'm writing alot. But I'm writing for work not for fun. I'm writing a white paper about my new company and our newer tools and solutions. This is absurd for many reasons.
I am the newest member of the company and yet I'm the one who is tasked with writing about it. That doesn't say much about my colleagues I suppose, but I like to think it says volumes about my abilities and the confidence my boss/bosses have in me.
I say, "in me" and not "in my writing" because they haven't seen any of my writing. So it must just be confidence in me.
I just wrote:
How can this ability affect a single contractor? The Houston Area Safety Council has trained 1,043 people for one of our Houston Area Contractor Members in the past 365 days. For the past year this contractor benefited from 6,735 courses in which a Basic Plus or Basic Plus Refresher course was already taken for other sites. Assuming the $25 dollars per unit price and the same $28/hour average from before, this contractor would have paid $168,375.00 on the Basic Plus and Basic Plus Refresher courses and would have had to pay $565,740.00 which translates to a total savings over the year of $734,115.00.
Not my most compelling writing.
I've never written a white paper. Nope . . . never written a white paper. I've written oodles of term papers, and tons of marketing material, but never blended the two into one to make a white paper. It's taken a bit so far, but I'm making progress. The sad part of all of this is that its taking away from my daily ration of writing that I might put toward writing Sunset Perfect.
I'll get back to it though . . . National Novel Writing Month is closing in.
