All those notices and subpeonas did me in. I didn't read them thoroughly enough. Fortunately, because I have a fantastic relationship with my client... we got it cleared up before I left town. Could've been worse, but I am still out my hotel charge. Sigh.

Monday has rolled around again. How are you feeling?
What's your plan for this week?
I see Mondays as a fresh start. Time to make plans, execute them, and be a thoughtful advocate for our profession.
Planning out the year now will really help you visualize where you are and see the direction your working life can take. Always plop in your travel - vacations, conventions, buddy weekends - and any other important dates you need to NOT WORK.
It's easier to do it from early in January than to try to have to backtrack and backfill information. Happy 2025!
We often say we don't know what we're going to get when we get to the assignment, but is that true? Maybe not. We can certainly prepare ourselves at least a bit.
Here's a quick guide of how I have prepared for depos - and court, in this example - that can serve as a template for you moving forward, whether you're a machine writer or a voice writer.
Happy job prep!
Do you choose a guiding word for your year?
I've been doing so for quite a while - here are my most recent and this year's word.
This year is a transformative one for me - I hit a milestone age and am planning on significant career changes.
If you do choose a word, it's really helpful to assess your actions, options through the lens of how that word is reflected.
May 2025 bring you happiness, health, joy, and success.
