Hey, Nicolete! Congrats on being a court reporting student. It really is a great profession, as long as you can handle the stress. I see you're on Case Catalyst. Me, too. My husband is a voice writer and also uses Cat. I've been doing this a long time and would be happy to help you through the rough spots. Give me a shout when you need something.....Tosha

Hey, Nikki! Hope you're having a great Christmas day with your family, and I hope you're in good health with your pregnancy.

I LOVE the Fusion because I haven't had any problems with it and I've had it for over 2 years now. As soon as I can, I'm going to start a discussion in the group about how much I really like it. Starting from the excellent touch of the machine to the LCD screen, it's just cool!

Well, well, well; My Beautiful New Bride: How have you been? Now that you've written me, I had to go back to your site and get caught up and then turn on my "view thread". NOW, I'm ready for you. So, now, did I hear somebody correctly? You are "DUE"????? Well, now, I know I told you I was stepping back to let you two settle in and didn't want to infringe upon your honeymoon, but DAMN! I GUESS YOU DID JUS THAT! Well, a very hearty congratulations to you both. You will make another beautiful mother. I'm so happy for you both. Now, also I can feel that you're somewhat worried or depressed about your progress or something and others are passing or frustrating you. l'm actually from Jessica's advice to you and trying to picture what happened to call for that. Now, Nicolete, really! You are the recipient of a lot of advice from me. Why is ANYTHING getting to you? You've heard my stories and I've given you the secrets. I echo Jessica, who I believe is my friend also. Just concentrate and pay attention to the positive things you hear and expound upon that and go from there. Leave the negatives alone. They will do you no good and aren't worth the worry or attention that you may/might give it or be attempted to. Stay away from that. Why even entertain it? Now, I don't give my advice for anyone to just forget it later. That's true stuff I be telling yawl! Remember it, especially when you start receiving the negatives or the pessimists. I've told you a lot, and a lot of it is before your time or may not affect you yet. I told it to you that way so that when the time comes, you'd be prepared and ready. These negative and pessimistic people and times are just that. You should recognize it and brush it off....like a fly. Like Jessica said, Stay strong & remember what I told you. Everyone will have a story to tell or a book to write but before you do, you must live it first. You're doing just that and your book or story will be fascinating. I can tell already. How did your GSRA Convention go? Did you attend? I attended the NCRA in Anaheim, the CCRA in Las Vegas & the DRA (deposition reporters association) in Valencia near SixFlags as well as a CaseCatalyst workshop seminar weekend in Mesa, Arizona; all within 3 months. It was awesome. So much education and information. Now, I am "officially" a mentor. I was asked by someone in DRA and I'd told her I do that already on CSRNation. She wanted me to do it officially with live people hands on. So, I got two who were in my area. I got one in qualifiers and inherited whiz-kid in another who went from theory to 200 wpm in 9 months; and guess what? She's having problems in her self-confidence. Imagine that. If you want to meet her, let me know. She's also a member of CSRNation as well as my other mentee. Well, I guess I'll sign off for now. You didn't tell me of any problems or worries you had, so I guess I can't comment on them. I had to go find the ones I did, but I bet even you know that if you did tell me about them, I'd probably had already given you the advice or you probably know what I would have said. Peace out, baby; and take care. Welcome back and congratulations. You took quite a long vacation from this site. I missed you. Greetings to your husband!

Hello,
Thank you for your post. Things are plugging along slowly. I'm having a problem with certain word combinations. My real problem is I'm not sure how many words I can fall behind and still feel comfortable. For example the tape will say " At what particular time did you know things were heading in the wrong direction?" I start stroking away, scared that I'm going to drop some words; and halfway through the sentence I realized that I missed two briefs. Therefore I have just made extra unnecessary strokes. Hence my speed is suffering. Have you ever encountered this situation?

Hey Nikki! It's great to hear you're still going strong in school. The best advice I can think of right now is to just keep your eyes on the prize and stay focused on you and your work and not on anyone else's. I'm sure you can tell by now that there are some people at your school that are just plain negative and always have bad vibes. Just ignore them! And if you have classmates that are doing GREAT and just flying along past you, possibly, IGNORE them, too! lol But if they're nice and have great tips, I don't mean that too literally, of course. Just pay attention to yourself and your progress because that's all that matters. While the others are flunking out or passing out (of class, lol) you still just have yourself, so take care of you and everything should fall into place. Well, that's my tidbit for today. :)

Work for me has been EXTREMELY hectic. Today is presumably the last day of a 2-week med mal trial I've been doing and it's been terribly med term dense, but I've gotten through it ok.

How's married life??

Keep up the good work, Nikki. We need more strong reporters out here :)
