CRID vs. CCR???

I have been going to The Court Reporting Institute of Dallas (CRID) online since July of 2007. I am currently only at 100wpm and am starting to feel burnt out and like I need more structure and more to rely on than solely self-discipline. I recently checked out The College of Court Reporting (CCR) in Hobart, IN. They were the first school to get an online program, so they've been doing it for a little longer than CRID and from what I've seen on the website, have more structure and organization.… Continue

Doctor Depos - first year out

First a few things that are obvious but can be overlooked.

Doctor depos can be amazingly, mind-bogglingly difficult or really, really easy. It's the luck of the draw. If you get an easy one, figure the page rate is going to balance with the days the doctor has an accent so thick he might as well be speaking Klingon and no amount of money is going to compensate you.

That being said EVERYONE can take a doctor's depo. EVERYONE. Of course, the caveat is if the questioning… Continue

Tomorrow my baby is five

Tomorrow my baby is five. She is not a baby anymore. She's a little girl. We're having a birthday party for her, and I know she's looking forward to it.

I, on the other hand, am a little bittersweet. My baby is growing up. She still says that she wants to live with me forever. I'll remind her when she tries to go away for college. Better yet, I'll videotape her saying it.

But really, if you've seen my pics of my daughter. She's lost her baby chubs. She's a little girl,… Continue

The software watches what's going on in the transcript and comes up w/ some one-stroke briefs for you as you are writing along. Some of them are kind of whacky but I chose to use a couple of them and it really helped me out. I found out my hands really held up a lot better b/c I was able to use one strokes for certain… Continue
