Well... one thing you know about me is that I'm a procrastinator. Yes, believe it or not, I am. Administrivia is NOT my thing. But it's time. We got an extension for 2021 taxes... today I have to put the rest of it together so we can bring to accountant this week. Yay. /s/
Also, lots of other stuff happening - working on the mailing for Beyond 225... and the videos... oh, and we've got house stuff too. And pages. They say you need to give a busy person projects so here I go, diving in!
Next year's conventions: NCRA - Houston; NVRA - Tampa!
If you need information, go to the respective sites - literally at ".org" to the tradenames and you should be directed there. Happy practicing!
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!
