Whenever we plan to go out of town, the last day is a manic day filled with do this, do that, Oh, gosh, don't forget to this!
But today... today, by 5:00 p.m., almost all the things were done. Well, except the packing. Pages were out, emails sent, phone calls made, follow-ups completed. Itinerary shared with the moms...
We have to get up early to take the cats to be boarded, but then we head out into the Appalachian Mountains just in time to catch the fall foliage at its best.
I probably won't post again till midweek next week here... but if you follow me on Instagram, you may see a photo (or several) - stenotraveler1 for me and Blue and "sippy_trippy_drippy" for my personal IG account.
Have a GREAT and PRODUCTIVE week!
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!
