Sorry for the delay. Uploads take a bit of time on this platform and I had to go out yesterday.
So here we are! I finally signed a contract, with lots of help and redlining from my attorney and then a lot of back-and-forth with counsel for the other party, and now I'm ready to try a new adventure.
I'm protected, they're protected, and we have a road map of things we're going to do moving forward. This is the exciting part!
Always do your best to protect your interests. It may feel like it's expensive now, but by having a contract in place, you could actually be saving yourself from expensive heartache later.
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!
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?!
I love this profession... and I love sharing it. Wherever you are, in whatever period in your career you find yourself, be an amazing advocate! Introduce people to this incredible opportunity for someone who loves English, the law, computers, learning... Be the little pebble that creates the ripple in the pond!
