I am a senior tech for a software company that manufactures software for writers (amateur and professional). I also handle a lot of their web design/coding and some QA testing.

Many hats... not enough dollars. <sigh>
Sleep well and live better!

I think of ways to help people like you and me sleep more comfortably and wake unmarked by our interfaces.
Does this count?

Writer. Researcher. Reader.

I help people with Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and IBS.

I work part time in a book store.

I help my Dad take care of my Mom, who is suffering all the effects of what I believe to be at least 30 years of untreated apnea.

I'm a Dachshund Mom.
