I don't have to write a lot in my work. Usually I will take advantage of computer. But sometimes I have to write something and then fax it.

Yes, I have to write a lot, youless. I am studying, I have to read a lot of books, research papers, and manuals, and I have to take notes of everything that is perceived to be useful, even remotely. At first, I usually do it on paper, writing just briefly, like writing pointers, to sum them up and organize them later. Then, I have to make reports, and keep a record of what I am studying. My work is on numerical side, so I have to write, and often modify, my code too. All that is concisely combined in research papers. I have written three research papers, as of now. Then, there is this whole correspondence thing with academics in different countries working on same subject, materials. We also have to take classes for specialized courses, some obligatory and others optional, where we have to take notes and sometimes do assignments. So, there is a lot of writing involved!

Of course, youless, friendship about sharing values and interest and it is independent of what work we do. I do enjoy and value our friendship!:-)

So sometimes please have a rest for your eyes as it's not good to look at the computer all the time.

I donn't have to write something at work.But if I have time I like to write my feeling on the net.I always have a talk with someone on line. I hardly use pen to wite except to record my schedule for a day. That is not a good thing.Do you think so?

Sometimes if we seldom use pen to write something, we are easy to forget how to write the words

Yes I agree.As the development of the technilogy,we become much lazier.We always wanna save time.But it can lose its nature.And our pressure becomes much heavier.

I really don't have to write very much at all in my work. But, I do have to read quite a bit. I used to do a lot of writing for publication a long time ago when I was younger, but, now, I'm more focused on my artwork and doing things like Mylot.

I write a lot of emails at my work, but other than that, not really. My company culture doesn't encourage people to talk over the phone and therefore, we communicate mostly on emails, sometimes, I get so tired of writing similar things over and over again!

In fact that's better to communicate by emails. At least it can save a big budget and you have some proof.

I work as a waiter or something like that at my parents work. I take orders and stuff like that, all the stuff I write is abbreviated so it is much easier to write and do, it saves A LOT of time. I'm a pretty quick writer so, I can get through a large amount of people in less than a few minutes.

I am a trained copywriter as I used to work for a travel company and write their brochures, edit copy, proof read brochures, do PR work etc so the short answer is yes, yes I did write a lot, and it was great. Becuase I love writing so much I felt I wasn't working at all, and I counted myself very lucky indeed.

well I do. I will still need to write things on papers or note book, because I would need to report several things personally about the project to the boss and sometimes it’s not efficient to type in computer and to print it again, because the boss doesn’t really need the printed report, just some quick notes.
