There's so much to say about convention. It's exhausting and exhilarating. It's hugging old friends and making new ones. It's learning new stuff and sharing your experiences. It's testing yourself and cheering on others.
In the end, convention can be that thing that brings the magic and passion back into your daily working life. Next year's NVRA convention is in San Antonio; next year's NCRA convention is in Louisville. If you can get to either (or both since they're not the same weekend this time), please start saving now. It will be SO WORTH IT!
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?!
