YIKES!
I had to make a run up to Carroll County, VA, to go get my renewal application notarized and then send off to Richmond. Now I have to wait... and then go back up to Carroll County to get resworn. Hopefully no deposition assignments come in in the meantime... EEP!
Pay attention to the important dates, y'all!
It was just an oversight, frankly, because of convention lead-up.
Good news is that I have another four years once I get resworn.
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)

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've started another 90-day testing challenge, and it will lead right up to the start of this year's annual convention in August (Little Rock!)
For 90 days, I will take a mock test and grade it, with the hopes of being prepared for a 200 testimony at 96 percent accuracy in realtime.
I've updated my software to use Speechmatics, which is significantly different from my Dragon so I'm relearning/unlearning my original dictation style and trying to modify so as to more efficiently use the new engine.
RVR-M is the goal. 200 words per minute testimony, 96% or better.
