There's something about the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. It's all relaxation, food, sleep, movies, hanging out with family. And for me on a day like today, when the family starts to head back home, it's back to the office to do the "end of year" stuff - organizing, plotting and planning, clearing the desk for the next year. Brushing off my new word - "Transform" - and creating a word cloud for my banner on Facebook. Just lots of little things to get back in the rhythm of being at the desk and getting ready for the next adventure.
My gift to myself is the new hard drive in the thumbnail. New beginnings and all.
Happy In Between - and may your new year be prosperous.
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?!
