Convention Junkie

I have this in my bio, right, "convention junkie." It's serious. Pre-pandemic I often did three conventions a year (sometimes more in an Intersteno year!). The past two years have made in-person conventioneering difficult do - we have mostly done remote sessions. Seeing a face via Zoom is better than not seeing anyone but I imagine most of us attending the VCRA convention in Lynchburg this week will be thrilled to not only be in person for the learning and networking but also for the hugs. Court reporters give GREAT hugs.

I'm looking forward to seeing my friends and colleagues, getting a bit of learning on, adding in a dash of partying (court reporters thrive at this part), and even - maybe - doing a decent transcription of the speed contest. But really, the main thing, is getting out and getting "back to normal" and seeing my friends and being able to catch up.

Happy conventioneering, y'all!

Another Monday... Saint Patrick's Day!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! And another Monday. I'm still dragging with the time change so I'm starting later in the day than normal. But I'm excited to start a new week with so many projects, a trip to convention, some consulting gigs, some volunteering. I think that's what I love so much about what we do, y'all. Every day, every week, every month can be an adventure! Ain't it grand? (Now I just need to find time for a nap)

Presenting at the Law School

You all know I love giving back... and I've been speaking at the local law school for many years now, sharing with the students who will be future litigators how they can work WITH court reporters to create a truly excellent record.

I love doing this - and if you have the chance, please consider doing it in your area. The "baby" lawyers appreciated it and the next generation of court reporters will too!

25.02.24 Rituals

We all love rituals - girls nights, massages, regular workouts... but what about our working rituals?

Do you have any that ease you into your productivity? Perhaps alleviate any anxiety?

Our job as a stenographer (or captioners) is filled with stressors and if we can develop rituals for ourselves to help limit those stresses, think how healthy, happy, and productive we can become?!

Decluttering the Office

I'm ready to get rid of stuff in my office - like I did my closet - and feel less stressed by "stuff" in here. What do you really need these days anyway???

Marketing is a Thing!

I made another video for you... bottom line is you cannot forget about marketing. Keeping your name in front of your clients - and potential clients - is a good way to show your desire to serve customer needs. (be sure you have the staff to do it, though!)
