Ping!

I got an email today. It's from a guy I used to work with - apparently he signed on with a company I had contracted for about 5 or 6 years ago. They need some technical writing. Am I interested?

Hm.

Hm, hm.

From the email, he knows I have a new life as a nurse. I'm not a software developer any more. I don't write as much as I used to any more. I posted about the content of my writing these days and it's pretty lame. I would say I am a bit out of practice.

I don't know if he knows I live 1000 miles away now. He says he's involved in a new "life sciences practice" for this business. I wonder what that means....and I wonder if my current field is of interest now? Would it help them to have an RN, BSN affiliated with them?

I'm curious.My ego has been thirsting for something like this. I've entertained some thoughts about getting back into software from a nursing context. I've had some ideas for software to be used in the medical world.

But, careful, careful. I was miserable as a software developer. I'm deliriously happy with what I do now (at least 80% of the time...) Why would I want to mess that up?

Conflict. I wonder what I'll do?

P.S. Reader, I've been writing enthusiastically on my Lost Japan travel blog. It's been such fun - I've even posted some pictures! Check it out

Any interest in being a (non-technical) writer, back on the nursing side of things? I've got a couple of websites focused on RN to BSN and RN to MSN / Masters in Nursing programs - basically directory websites with some extra content. Anyway, please get in touch if you're interested, and would love to hear any feedback you have on them.
