Seeking New Contract or Full-Time Employment as a Senior Technical Writer or Business Analyst

My current contract is winding up and I am seeking new contract or even full-time employment as a senior technical writer or business analyst in the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area beginning in May 2009. I am also open to telecommuting.

Revisiting a Technical Writing and Contracting Career

I recently had an interview for a contract that was so not a fit but one of the questions was Why do I stay a technical writer when it must be such a dull and boring profession?  After the interview when I was peeling rubber out of the parking lot, I took a few moments when I was decelerating to think about some of the more interesting moments (at least to me) from my career to date:

Online Collaboration with Acrobat.com

I had the opportunity to get a briefing about  the latest updates to Acrobat.com that was arranged by an old PR contact of mine. It came at an opportune time since I am returning to freelance writing plus I am a real geek for online collaboration tools and Web Office productivity suites.

Adobe is targeting freelancers and SOHOs with Acrobat.com and they deliver with free features that should keep their target base's attention.  The question remains when Adobe can build an addiction to Acrobat.com so they can start offering a subscription-based model of the service.
