This past weekend was great. I have come back excited to try out new things. I want CSR after my name too, you know! : )

Wowza, Stephanie! Congrats on passing your test. You truly are amazing!

Hi, Stephanie, I do remember you! CONGRATS on the pass! It's a great feeling to pass it the first time! I am so thankful for passing my first time too! I send you an e-mail with more tips and advice soon. Just a little swamped right now! Have you started interviewing yet?

Welcome to the Magnum Steno Fan Club, Stephanie.

Your job will get easier with more speed -- and I know you have plenty of room to grow if you just shorten down that longhand theory of yours. :)

Hi Stephanie, I want to join the party. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, Stephanie!

So true..thanks for that pointer, Stephanie:) I'm just going to have to PUSH. But yes girl, keep in touch with your success and of course I'll let you know when I hit my 160s:) Take care and again, CONGRATS...YAYYY:)

ah, school is school..I'm just trying to pull through these speed classes. I got a 150 JC to pass to hit my 160s and it's killing me that I haven't passed it yet because there's one more week left of summer and I'm tyring to pass that test before it ends..sigh...sooner or later I'll get it:) Btw, I love the new look:) Any pointers to build speed??? I so need some right now....

Hi Stephanie...i don't know if you remember me but we conversated once or twice at school, heard the great news today from Tracy and thought I'd come on your page and say CONGRATS:) You worked really hard for this, you so deserve it..GO GIRLL...Take care...

Congratulations, Stephanie on passing the CSR. I bet you celebrated with your husband. Good for you. Now, we really have to have lunch and celebrate your victory at the Hutchings meeting, if you are still going. Let me know.

Well, I need my last 190 4V and so it's very frustrating, but I know every one of us has our day of glory. So I am patiently waiting for my day. Hopefully it will soon be here. So that's that. You're right we can decide on that day what to get. I'm just not very familiar with that area though so hopefully we can find something.

So what are you doing in the meantime? School is there like always and forever. Hopefully not too long for me though. Like I mentioned before, maybe we can grab some lunch for the next meeting, if you can.

Hi Stephanie,

You cut your hair. It looks really nice. Hope to see you at the Hutchings Mentor meeting on August 15.

Wow! Look at you. Very, VERY nice. Mrs. Professionalism. When you look up that word in the dictionary, your picture should be there. Congratulations. Now, while you're out there and sitting in and everything, notice what all the other reporters are wearing. I remember my mentor bought my first suit and I was wearing that and others all the time. I realized I was outdressing the attorneys. I knew that by so many people referring to me and thinking I was the attorney. I think you know what I'm trying to say, but you enjoy this, okay? You SOOOO deserve this...and this is you! GO GIRL!

I like that. "Ready for work." I told my husband.

You can finally tell people your wife is a hearing reporter, not student. I think. since he's known me, I've been a student.

By the way, Stephanie, I have been meaning to ask you. Mikki and I were wondering how you get your pictures up there with the caption. I tried to figure it out but to no avail?

Not too bad, Stephanie. When I walked in and saw the reporter's desk and chair, I thought Wow! That's my chair today. I don't have to sit in the corner somewhere. :)
I really liked it. It felt so good to be living my dream -- well, almost. (lol) I was a little nervous, but it soon passed. Reporters tell me that, after you get settled in. you'll be okay. You'll be okay. You're good at this. Personally, I wonder if they're more intimidated by us (sometimes). Do you remember that commercial "Don't let them see you sweat"? What I liked most is when the attorney and Court knew what to do in regards to the CR. For example when they make statements "for purposes of the record" etc.

Hey Stephanie. How did it go? I enjoyed myself yesterday. Thanks for the encouragement. You know you can sit out with me any time once I get some experience, but it looks like we both we'll be getting our experience at the same time. We'll help each other. Maria will be contacting you to see if we can get together sometime next week.

Hi Stephanie, I did shim my machine at Steno Doctor for $25.00, and I love the change. Best thing I ever did, gadget-wise.
