Hi D-
How are you? I heard your captioning and loving it! Let's try and talk, cuz I need to make up my mind on which way to go... I only hope captioning brings in the same income as I'm used to... let me know your thoughts? I hope everything else in life is going good! TTUL!
Ahhhh Haaaaa...you ARE on here...and now that I'm on your page I'm feeling quite stupid that I asked you if you had heard of this site before! WOW. ha ha Anyway, hope you're doing well! Oh yeah, how far is where you live from San Diego??
and regarding the captioning, I'm DESPERATELY trying to get out of 140's so that I can start the next captioning class. I have always been extremely interested in it. I'd love to talk to you about it, how it works, how you get paid, etc. When you have a chance.... when do you work? maybe I could watch ya! LOL!
Oh, and I'm stuck because my attention and focus is lacking because of all my other "issues" with Manny, house, kids, etc. I know it's no excuse, but I don't know how to push it aside and focus. Sounds stupid, huh?
It's winter... Manny's in construction... that's the way it goes. He's got his fencing business on the side, but hasn't put an ad in the pennysaver yet since his mom has been sick (actually she just passed this morning at 4am) so he wants to get all that settled before he puts the ad in and gets work. His company has him on "hold" for work instead of laying him off. This way he gets the next job faster, but yet no unemployment check... catch 22. ugh. We already moved, still in Folsom. Newer and nicer house, and we're short-selling the other one. Just worries me if it gets so bad that he can't pay rent. That's where my guilt with school kicks in... see what I mean?
Hey Danielle! How are you doing? How's work going for you? Are you doing depos or captioning?
Just curious. I really need some encouragement right now... I'm so stuck, Manny's not working, we're selling our house... ugh.
I have loans up the wazoo and I don't want to quit. I'm just s-t-u-c-k with no one to talk to =(
HEY! Yaaa I've had a few rough ones too!! I have been working about 4 days a week since I started. I love it though. My agency has some in house proofers and I use one of them. I dont want to pay to have my work scoped yet because I am adding so much to my tiny dictionary just doing it myself. Hows work going? are you working alot? Like it Love it?
Hi. I don't think we know each other, but I saw a comment you left for Kathleen, who I do know, and you had mentioned you were looking for a proofreader. I have a couple good references, if you're still looking for one. Call me at (714) 904-7182 or e-mail me at stephanie.leslie@regalcourtreporting.com, if I can help you. Proofreaders are invaluable... good call looking for one!
Congrats on passing the CSR! My proofing rates are pretty simple: .35/page for regular, .50 for expedite and .75 for daily. I don't charge extra for technical, medical, whatever. Words are words, right? I also do scoping, and my rates are 1.00, 1.50 and 2.00 respectively. I don't charge extra for medical or technical or listening to the audio. I always look up your questionables, confirm address spellings, name spellings, etc. Just give me a bona fide due date and let me know your preferences and all will be well.
I am a former Federal court reporter, so I am accustomed to tight deadlines and making sure stuff is right the first time. My personal philosophy is, Why hire me to do a job that you're going to have to do over again.
Hey!! Okay sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you! Life is crazy I worked last Wed, Thurs, and Fri too to I have been workin on those tranny's! ; ) I have another job lined up for today at 1:00. Have you started working yet? Keep me posted. Us newbies have to stick together and support each other!
Holy crap, are you serious!? You are DONE, like DONE, DONE? ha ha Sorry, it just seems so unbelievable to me at this point, as I struggle writing even 90wpm! :( That is SOOOO awesome! I can only imagine how totally estatic you are! Sorry I took forever to write you back, I haven't gotten on CSR in a few weeks. So, did you get your number in the mail, how's the job hunt going? Are you trying to get in the courtroom, with a firm, or freelance, or what? I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to hear all about it! :) Good luck!
Have you taken the academics yet? How did you do? Well, no. I haven't had my first job yet. Hopfully soon. My CSR number was posted last week, and just today I went around to firms and dropped off my resume. Hopefully the next call will be a job?! : ) I'll keep you posted, but you also keep me posted on your status.
