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.
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!
