>>"because if you can do it, anyone can do it".
Wow! She thinks highly of you. Perfect dating material.
We told all of the shipping/warehouse people to take the Introduction to
Tech Writing and the Introduction to FrameMaker class at UCSC-Extension
first. Then, if they passed those classes, they could come and talk to
us about the position. I am not holding my breath.

As in "So easy a Caveman could do it"?
I am sure all of us have had the experience of someone totally clueless
thinking all we do is type. Had a gal at one of our square dances from
our church in 1983 tell me that while she is a store clerk, she is going
to
become a tech writer, "because if you can do it, anyone can do it".
And she went to an interview. Never heard from her again.
