Happy Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! HAVE A GREAT ONE!

Awesome. Yeah, girl, I have been busy. I hit the ground running. That "looking for my paycheck" every week got old really fast -- I mean, it got so bad at one point, I was just convinced that my mailman was holding my checks on purpose..LOL

I am on as an overflow reporter with like 7 firms, but glad to say that I have one firm that I am working for now on more of a regular basis and it's going great.

I don't think I could have chosen a better profession to be a part of, b/c I love every minute of it. I found that I don't like court much, though, to my surprise. I love having a new topic of discussion to listen to everyday, and most of the drive isn't so bad -- my main firm is awesome with getting us depos close to our home location. Anyway, I won't chat your ear off, I know you're probably busy. Work has been slamming and I ain't turning down **i*..LOL

Stay in touch.

yep, I work 4 days a week 10-hr days (or so) at the PD, then I do depos on Mondays. I found a wonderful Los Angeles agency who took me on with my limited schedule. For a while I even captioned at college one night a week. My husband started working recently, but we're not sure he's going to stay there. Good jobs are hard to find, especially with good health insurance. My kids are 20, 17 & 16. They were young when I started school, so it took me quite a while to finally finish, but finish I did. I now have licenses in CA and NV. How did I do it? By the grace of God and the strength he gives me daily. Plus I love this profession.

Hi Amanda,
How have you been. Not sure if it's you, but if you're the Amanda I'm thinking of, we went to CRID together a few years back. I just know this is your pic. How have you been? Are you in Texas working? What field did you fall in love with?

Hey, Amanda,

I know that the Angelina County Court at Law No. 1 is looking for a full-time court reporter. It's a move--Lufkin, Texas--but thought I'd pass it on if you would be interested in moving. It's east Texas.

Here's a c/p of the posting:

One small town in East Texas is looking for an official reporter to fill their County Court at Law position. Pays not bad for a small town and the workplace is great. If you might be interested in a change please contact dhcourtclerk@yahoo.com

I can attest to the fact that this is a dream job for someone who wants to be an official, yet doesn't want the stress of having trial after trial to get out for appeals.

Send me a message if there's any questions I can answer.
