As a notary, we need to keep your appointment current. I have two notaries, one in VA and one in NC. Both expire in 2022... VA, June; NC, July.
Both are in limbo at the moment. VA, I'll be resworn TODAY.
NC, paperwork in transit. As of Monday, August1, I'll be ineligible to give an oath until I get my paperwork back and get myself over to Wilkes County Clerk of Court to get resworn.
They only happen every four years but man, both of these dates snuck up on me. Good news is that I'm remedying the situation and I don't have any assignments on book right now... STAY ON TRACK, Y'ALL!!
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!
