Congrats on Stenocast!!!! I'm not ready for realtime, lol. Yes, is a catch 22 on the elbow issues. I have to run downtown and go get my DD after, make a fast dinner and leave at 6pm!! Hopefully it's short and I can do a few more inmates tonight.....ok, that reads REALLY funny!!! LOL! Do The tripts, NOT the inmates! LOL!
LOL, I need time to take a walk with my daughter, LOL! But w/the Gemini, I have not needed the Chiro in a LONG time!!! Plus, the Radio Shack amp system is awesome! I'm very rarely exhausted or whipped after long jobs. Now, my last Glamour shoot?? I was hurting! LOL! Felt like I did a wedding! ;)
I'm excited to have some work. Also not using my scopist, as I just can't afford that. I'm SO behind in bills from being slow!!! Is there other CRs you can contact for backup work?? That's how I 'fell' into this CR and I love her! She's been reporting since '72, lol. She's SO nice too!!!!! 3 jobs this week from her! None from my firm, lol.
I have been BUSY the last month!! :) Working HARD on some parole boards right now....have to run a tript to the office...got a call for zoning boards for the other CR I am working with, tonight at 7pm! I have Glamour sessions on Saturday from 9am to 3pm!!! Monday have a long depo!! My boards are DUE TUESDAY! LOL!
I will make a note and maybe if there is a break at zoning will look at the screws, lol. I'm daring like that...plus will have the machine out. Usually it stays in my bag ready to run.
Jenny, I was eavesdropping on your convo with Tami. I use -RM for remember -- not changing that one. I'm trying to -RM to use -R for really, and I use -DZ for did -- EUDZ, UDZ, THEDZ, WEDZ.
Then I blow it with he and she and who. I use DZ for does with those - SHEDZ, EDZ, WHODZ -- and *DZ for did. With I, you, we, they, *DZ is did. ACK!! If I were to try it anew, I'd stick with one meaning for DZ.
BUT if you don't use DZ for said or decide or something else, it works well.
He's still working out the bugs, but I told him he'll start getting more efficient as far as getting work out.
Yesterday his "box" disappeared again. His default obviously is without a box, so he was trying to figure that out.
Of course that stuff scares me because I know I'll have the same problem when I make the switch, and I haven't had to worry about not having a box on my page in a very long time.
Oh, and the Eclipse salesman finally got back to me. He said he was on vacation two weeks, so that girl that just went CC on the main page is right. Eclipse was not nearly as responsive as they should be, and I'm not shocked they lost a sale over it.
This is actually the second time I felt the Eclipse salesperson dropped the ball.
If I heard things or experienced things like that with the support, I would run, but I know that's not the case. I can't believe how quickly they call back Clay when he needs support -- even on the weekends.
Just rented two movies -- Yes Man and Seven Pounds -- so I need to go cuddle up with the hubby and have another lazy day. YIPPEE!!
It's going to be so hard going back on Tuesday. :(
Thanks, Jenny. I love court reporting, but I also love to get away from court reporting! LOL You know, my kids are growing up so fast -- 19 and 16 next month, and I really feel like I'm missing a lot of it, that's why I love to look back at these vacation pics so much and I wanted to share them. I also love anything with a tropical flavor to it, if you know what I mean, so the music and pics make me feel like I can get through the winter.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll talk to you again soon. I'm off to add some of the conflicts that you-all posted. Love it!!
You've been busy! Love the flowers and the beautiful Easter graphic you sent me. Easter will be quiet for us -- just hanging out and eating candy. Tonight we will dye eggs. Just trying to get my house somewhat clean.
Had several dr depos this week on the same case that were all expedited. UFL they were all short. So I'm all caught up again. We're still super duper slow here.
Are you back?? I'd cry without my fix. Dancing muscles are fine. Erik took my Monday afternoon for me -- he did great. We're meeting up this afternoon to chat. If he can do the CART crap he's been doing, he can do depos!
Hey, Jenny ~ so good to hear from you. How are you?? I was up in Tahoe this past week ~ just got home tonight!! It was nice and relaxing, but pretty stormy (like here, huh?) ~ although, Monday was beautiful up there ~ short sleeves and we went to a park!!
So how'd your second job go? Are you loving your new machine?? I'm actually loving the LS now ~ finally!!
Work seems slow to me. I've been pretty busy w/ family and kid stuff, that I've only been able to work about 2 days a week and have been lucky that the few jobs I'm getting are at least sticking and I'm getting pages, but the phone definitely isn't ringing off the hook. How's it going for you? I keep thinking spring (NOW:)) it will pick up ~ any time, huh? I always think that I should enjoy the slow time, because before you know it you get slammed. SO maybe I shouldn't enjoy myself this week or next week, and then I'll get slammed (fingers crossed:))!!
Have a happy, happy Easter!!!
I roomed with three other friends, and three of us passed. I don't think the other girl ever became a CSR.
I think Janet probably was closer to my class than yours. I think she was a late 4000 number, but I am shocked I pulled her name out. I never personally knew or or even met her. I just remember her from the notoriety she got from being the reporter on the big case.
I picked up a message earlier today from a student who sat in with me a couple weeks ago. She first sat in with me in the Fall, and I filled her ear about writing short and practicing the MK way. She said I spent about three hours with her, and I bet she's probably right.
So she obviously listened because her hands were really calm the day she sat in with me recently -- even though it was a nightmare day.
I told her this last time I noticed her hand speed, and she said since the first time we met she had started incorporating a shorter writing style, tucking endings, etc.
So before she leaves three weeks ago I make her promise that she'll sign up for Mark's Club. When you're paying $900 a month tuition, an extra $29 isn't that easy, but she promises she'll do as I say.
She has a qualifier the next day, and I tell her she probably won't get that one, but I could pretty much guarantee she'd get one within the next two to three weeks. I also told her she'd hate me because it would hurt her brain, etc., but I knew she'd get the results -- especially after seeing her write.
So she calls me today all excited, said she did EXACTLY what I told her to do, and she nailed a qualifier within the short period of time I told her she would with only 20-something errors.
Totally made my day!!
She said she couldn't wing the $99 for Saturday, but I called her back and told her I'd cover it and she could drive down with Clay and me. Hopefully she takes me up on it.
Thanks, Jenny. I guess I was pretty happy there. We were on a cruise ship just pulling up to San Juan to doc. It was February, and I'm from Michigan, so there you go.

I have the Tablet, have had no issues....
Guess I was eavesdropping, too, but not reading the original source. HA!
I use mine to death, too, and the conflicts are so few and far between that it is really worth adding, and it comes so quickly. It's amazing.

So . . . I posted Clay to see what's up to try to make sense of it. We'll see if he gets back to me. He's getting pretty swamped.
Guess we should run this one by Clay and see what's up.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll talk to you again soon. I'm off to add some of the conflicts that you-all posted. Love it!!
