It's a board service weekend - NVRA's board of directors meeting for the fall is this weekend in Atlanta. As both a board member (one-year director) and a committee chair (education committee), I have a LOT of stuff that I'm working on.
I was going to drive, but with the hurricane and so many road closures, etc, we made the decision to fly me there instead. So I fly from Greensboro later today - with just a carryon (backpack) and my personal item.
We're gonna get a lot done, I hope. If you are an NVRA member, check your email for information on participating either in person in Atlanta OR via Zoom remote setting.
See you there! (and send some travel mercies my way, if you'd be so kind!)
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?!
