I know we are digressing, but Document Management sounds like it could be connected to what I do, what specifically was involved?

Initially, I was a document controller which was basically a glorified filing clerk. I'd produce document reference numbers for people, they'd send me documents to update, distribute and send out to other people. Turns out I was cheaper as a temp than providing lots of people with licences.

But by the time I moved on, I was setting up and configuring document management tools, processes and procedures, developing lifecycle management etc.

Which oddly is basically applied Cognitive Perspectives of Behaviour.

Ah ok, probably no cross over. I write applications to create transactional documentation.

Tech Author, Documentation management etc is my ine of country, too.

One of the things I love about defence work, is that I get to work with technical authors. I thought I was good at writing documents, but they're like artists.

I used to work with this technical author, who was had something like six of seven degrees from the OU, all simply because she'd absolutely mastered the art of analysing and writing to requirements. I'd be stoked that I got over 85% on an essay, she'd be gutted if she got under 95%.

I think there is probably only one thing that really defines whether one group of people is more intelligent than others, and that is people who read vs people who don't read (dumb c**ts).

I don't really care if people are left wing or right wing, but if they don't read, then I'm going to say they're less intelligent than people who do read (even people who read s**t).

You see this at university, the clever kids, read a lot, the rest read enough. Its one thing to be able to answer the questions based on the excerpts, hand outs and study guide. But the kids who read the textbook, the case studies and the articles in journals always do better.

Intelligence really can be measured in the books you've read. Its even an fact that an individuals substantial enjoyment and experience of life is directly correlational to the size of their vocabulary.

Never trust people who don't read. Its so good that even people who can't see have found a way around that.
