This essay covers and tries to include the “research” nature of my final project. Because I wanted to keep the manual a simple tool, things which I perceived as too academic were moved from the manual to this essay. The communication manual is for technical people. This essay is for process workers. The purpose of this essay is to explain how and why the manual is different from process oriented relationship work for the general public. I also want to describe how the manual was created. I also explore how the manual is geared toward the unique tendencies found among the geek and technical population.I used to have a helpful idea that I called “The Relationship Panic First Aid Kit”. The kit only had three items: ranks, double signals and working on the edge to dream together. When I would get into panic about one of my relationships, I would pull this list out from my head and try to use all of the skills. This kit served me well for a long time. This manual is the deluxe version of the first aid kit.
