my name is christina patino and I am starting with a new firm pretty soon and need a proofer. let me know what your rates are for both proofing and scoping and how much time in advance you need.

Thanks. and good luck to you!

Thanks, KK! I just finished a booger of a depo myself and decided to treat myself to a visit to the "water cooler."

Hope your job goes smoothly! Don't work too late!

It sure seems that way, doesn't it? We don't have the normal interactions that those in a typical office environment have. I think of this and other court reporting forums as a virtual water cooler!

Thanks, KK,

I'm glad you are my new friend.

Hi there:

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I came home from Belgium and had just 36 hours to pack up and head off to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to take my daughter off to her first year of college. We spent four days up there getting her all settled in and I got home late Sunday night. I spent yesterday just roaming around my empty house and getting adjusted to my new life a little. The cats won't leave me alone, of course. I'm sure they miss her as much as I do.

I added a couple of pictures from the trip up north. I'm going back in about a month and really looking forward to the drive for a change. The changing autumn leaves should be in full force and I'm expecting some really lovely views.

Yes, I've tried a couple of times to get photos published/sold, but no go. I think the issue is that they look great on a computer, but they're not of high enough quality for paper publication. Ah, well. Thanks for the compliment!

Time to go put my living room back in order after it having been packing central for the last month. Have a great week!

Hi KK:

I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. Yes, I love my life and feel so blessed and lucky! Last night I added some new pictures from my recent trip to Belgium. I attended a wedding there and had an absolutely marvelous time. I also scoped my little brains out, which was actually pretty cool. This career is heaven sent in terms of it allowing me to indulge my travel bug while still earning a decent living. I accepted your friend request, of course. Have a great day!

Hey, KK!

My guess is the two babies are what's left over that somehow managed to not get eaten as eggs. What kind of fish are they? I had a 75-gallon tanks years ago. I had oscars, various cichlids, a gar, tinfoil barbs, and even a fresh water lobster. My fish were HUGE.

Will do, KK!! Just holler if you need help!
