Hey, I'm A Technical Writer In A Highly Specialized Field! There's A Lot Of Paperwork In Science, So

Hey, I'm a technical writer in a highly specialized field! There's a lot of paperwork in science, so here's a rundown for scientists:

Incoming sample log

QC data report

Data analysis report

Grant writing

Batch records*

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPA)

Manuals

Quality Systems Manuals

Deviations

Approval and Change Control Form

Training Modules

Lab Journal**

Email reports

Safety Data Sheets (SDS, previously called Material Safety Data Sheets - MSDS if you're writing slightly in the past)

*This is more for industry scientists than research scientists. Depending on where you work, a batch record typically needs to be done contemporaneously (while the batch of whatever you are making, like a drug, is being made by the person doing the actions required to make it) and will often have a whole ass second person to review the data to ensure it is accurate. This is especially relevant for facilities monitored by the FDA/EMA/etc. Manufacturing individuals will be filling batch records out, QC/engineering often review. There is also an investigations department for when things go awry.

**Also really should be kept contemporaneously like batch records. This is more for research scientists than industry scientists.

I worked in pharma in the investigations department for a little bit and pivoted to fixing a previous company's paperwork, so I know a thing or two. This is more geared toward industry than research because that's where my experience is.

On top of all this, the normal office paperwork also applies.

We don’t talk enough about how fanfiction writers love to give character large amounts of non-specific paperwork they hate doing

Oh hey, I have that bathtub, but in white!

Took the time to move it from its original spot rather than throw it away because it is cast iron. So guessing the one in the above house is also cast iron!

Justin posted the 1956 house he and his wife bought in Jasper, Indiana. It is a complete time capsule. Absolutely NOTHING has been updated or touched.  

Everything is still here- look at the appliances. All original. This is not like the classy expensive updated mid century homes we’ve seen before. 

The furniture has to be the original pieces and sets the previous owners bought. 

The wall hangings are aged.

This is an interesting piece, this bar. 

Look at the bathroom- pink fixtures.

Those lamps!

The master bath has a yellow tub and fixtures.

A 2nd bdm. Even the bedding is vintage.

And, this bath has blue Fixtures. Wow, I would definitely keep them.

More cool lamps and original furniture in the knotty pine family room. 

Wow, look at the built-ins in the office.

The lower floor.

The basement is cool- look at that floor! And, the TV. The bar is classic. I wonder if they were leaving any of this.

Off the rec room is a 2nd kitchen. A pink fridge!

And, there’s this room, too. Look at the stone wall.

for the love of old houses

Drew these instructions for a one-page zine I'm gonna share tomorrow and I figured I'd post them on their own just in case anyone finds them useful :)

Good Dad
