My mundane profession is tech writer, i.e., I write manuals, web site content, product descriptions and similar items. I rarely mention it here in the blog, because my tasks are unusually unexciting and frequently covered by non-disclosure agreements.

However, when I saw this Dilbert picture, I could not resist sharing it with my readers. His compulsion is a common ailment among tech writers.
