We’re blogstalking today, and found this.

Tech writer. Loved her coworkers, the environment, but never got good at her job, she says.

“I’d sit down at my desk, spread open a binder of user manuals or guides and stare at meaningless words on a paper that talked about wiring and batteries and electronics. I liked the technical aspect of the language, and I honestly tried my hardest, but I’m no engineer.”

She put in two years, fresh out of college, and was laid off last week.
