This is old but still funny (click through for big version).
I of course like this part:

I’m not currently looking for tech writing work, but I keep my eye on the job listings just to see what kind of jobs are out there. And this posting just appeared out on craigslist:
Technical Publications Manager – Automotive
Tesla Motors is currently seeking a Technical Publications Manager for our After Sales Operations division (ASO).
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The Technical Publications Manager is responsible for the creation, printing and distribution of all external technical documentation associated with Tesla cars. These include but are not limited to: Owners Manual, Service Manual, Flat Rate Manual, Parts Manual, Circuit Diagrams, and Technical Bulletins.
Tesla Motors is the company here in the bay area that is making high performance electric cars. Their first car is mighty darn pretty.
Writing manuals for an electric car would certainly be way more hella fun than writing the same old API documentation (setCommandOperation: set the operation for the command. zzzzz). Unfortunately, this is a job for a tech pubs manager. As a manager you get to make sure other people have all the fun while reserving the pain for yourself. I suck very badly at that.
Perhaps the future Tesla tech pubs manager will need a tech writer contractor. Hint hint.
