I don't think so. what was the 3rd - oh ywah, the coworkers. they told mine to not even talk to me. that sucked. but I did get pretty nuts (different place from the society guy tho).

This isn't actually a writing job. I just said "articles" to make it easier for people to understand. It's a technical writer job that I applied for and got hired for without having a technical writing background. My background is journalism and creative writing.
Technical writing sucks. It's more like trying to understand the info sent over by the programmers and then turn it into something the users can understand, and then put it into XML (which is kind of like html, but different -- although both are over my head).
It is sucking the creativity right out of me.
I have no desire to do the work over the weekend. I am exhausted. If I don't use this weekend to rest, I will be an even bigger blob of depression and frustration when I return to work Monday morning.
