Hi, Anita!

Sorry for the delayed response.  Just (finally) turned in my last job for December!  Whew!  Good feeling to be caught up, though.  Hope to see you soon in Rincon!

You can actually look for yourself; all your groups show up on your page to the left.  I see you are in International, New York and Connecticut and a few others.

Anita, I posted a PDF on audio quality on the discussion board on the first page.  Title is "Need help with audio quality."  You can get it there.

Hi Anita!
Thank you for your inquiry, but I am unable to accept new clients at this time. I am committed to other work until after Thanksgiving. Please keep me in mind for future scoping work.

Thank you,
Linda

Hi Anita. Thanks for the inquiry, but I am unable to take on any new clients now. Anyway, it looks like you've got some positive replies.

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.

Hi Anita! I read your comment that you wrote to Monti, and although i am not a court reporter yet, i think i have an answer to your question. You know, so many court reporters graduate from school not knowing what to accept out there in the real world. I hear girls in my school all the time say that when they graduate, they would take any job because they have bills, tuition to pay back etc... They have also said they heard that its slow right now so they are willing to take anything. So i believe these are the people that are taking these low paying jobs, but the truth is, the schools don't tell you not to take a job, especially when you first graduate, instead they tell you to accept whatever is being offered until you gain enough experience and can run with the big dogs. Like Monti said, one job offered him $25.00 an hour and he said "no" but to some people that's better than nothing. Another reason, some of these newly reporter don't know what a decent pay rate is. When you graduate, the schools don't tell you a ballpark figure of what you should be making and right now, how could they with the economy nose is diving downwards instead of upwards.

I hope this is the reason and the only reason. Talk to you soon :)

Would you mind posting some of your fabulous thoughts on www.motiontorescind.wordpress.com and help us in our discussion?

Thank you,

Hi, Anita. If you are a member of the NCRA, please help us fight the motion. If you, in any way, could afford to go to the annual convention, please do so and vote YES on the Motion to Rescind. Please also post your response to "Concerned Student" in the forum, as I know there are many reporters out there who feel that deposition reporters cannot be replaced. You are a living example of, yes, WE CAN be replaced! We need all the help we can get to spread the word that, YES, our profession is indeed threatened. Thanks, Anita. I apologize if I have bothered you, but I have to try to do whatever I can to help save "us."
