Ghostwriter

One of the interesting parts of my job is that my employer is a phenomenally talented acupuncturist. She has a great opportunity to share her knowledge with the world (she has a website, a blog, and is listed on numerous social networking pages). Unfortunately, English is her second language.
This is where I come in. We have an agreement that she will post something new to her blog every week. Before she can post it, I have to proofread it. What should take 15 minutes tops, took 5 hours today. I thought I had a handle on Five Element Theory but, OMG!, the nuance required to diagnose according to TCM makes memorizing the Merck catalog look like a simple parlor trick.
