What a weekend! Some of you tested and are now anxious about getting your results. Take a moment, though, and reflect on just what a momentous journey you've been on and you're at the turning point - time to exit one chapter and move on to the next.
It's okay to stop for a minute. Take the time to stop, to do things for yourself, maybe reconnect with people with whom you've lost touch because of all the practice you've done, or just take a nap!
This is a very stressful career and you've earned a bit of a break. The results will come.
Also... in my world, I'm "changing" a bit - working on a new user profile. I'm ready to try something new to be "better" and work "smarter, not harder" by letting the software do the heavy lifting. It's not going to be easy, but I know it will be rewarding.
It's always a good time to do a little introspection and reevaluation.
Breathe a bit.
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?!
I'm ready to get rid of stuff in my office - like I did my closet - and feel less stressed by "stuff" in here. What do you really need these days anyway???
