OT: Submissions for an IT careers book?

Hi all... I'm putting together a guidebook about IT careers for Vault.com (a
jobs and careers site here in New York). I'm writing the majority of the book
from personal experience, but my editors asked me to solicit a few "day in the
life" sidebars from people in the field. The idea is that someone such as a
student can read the sidebars to get an idea of what you actually DO all day in
the role of (fill in your title).

I could use some submissions for jobs such as network engineers, SAN/backup
administrator, QA engineer, tech writer, product manager, etc. (already have
one from the programmer specialty). Basically you'd just write a fictional but
realistic hour-by-hour scenario of what your typical day is like.

It's up to you whether your name/company name are included. Of course, the
benefit to having your name/company name included is the free press and the
glory of pointing out your name in print, the next time you're in Barnes &
Noble with friends. :)

The catch? I need some of these sidebars as soon as humanly possible, in the
next couple of days.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
