Homemade chicken soup, that's the other life healer!!
I had to beg this scopist away from an agency owner she's been working for, so she's not looking for work. She used to do a lot of my work (She used to be on Procat) and always begged for more. She said I was the gravy train. When I stopped using her after getting assigned to family law for two years, I lost her.
So . . . I called her in January and told her about Clay and guaranteed her he'd be up to my caliber in no time, and she jumped on it.
He's only used her twice, but when he starts getting swamped, I know she'll keep him on the straight and narrow.
I plan on her helping to train me on Eclipse. It's so scary to bite, but I definitely have so much help at my fingertips. I was reading the Total Eclipse group here today, and I just really can't wait. I think it will help me keep the brain a little sharp taking it on, too.
Talking about sharpening the brain, I can't believe I just pulled out Janet Moxham's name as the reporter for O.J., and I think I'm right. After I posted I went to the CA Board site and ran a verification on her license, and she's current with a 4000 number. HA!
After being in that cloud for so long with that head injury, I just get so thrilled when I pull something out of the clouds like that!!
I have a funny -- well, now it's funny; wasn't at the time -- ice story I need to share one day with you.
You're too sweet about telling people to come over a little bit because of me. Probably has something to do with not being able to keep my mouth shut half the time. At least I can laugh at myself and don't have a problem being laughed at. :)
I did call Desmond and faxed him back the paperwork, but now he doesn't have the extra edit key. Not sure to wait or just move on without it.
I also have a call into Eclipse directly but haven't received a call back since yesterday.
My question to them is why should I pay a broker $3100?? Don't they want my money??
Still waiting for a response.
I got a call Monday that my senior wants me doing a daily copy (death penalty) the day I get back It's only on a competency hearing -- so that means all doctors -- and I'm familiar with the case because I did the prelim in about 2002. He was already sentenced to death, but now they're determining if he's competent.
Sounds like the judge put the cart before the horse, but that's where they're at. The other reporter is top-notch, so I told my senior whatever she wanted me to do I'd do. I don't go running around looking for the dailies. Sounds like this one's tough enough where no one's fighting for it.
Anyway, I think there are other dailies coming up, and I still have that Eclipse scopist that would be really nice to work with on a daily. Think I could send my portion to her and never have to look at it again.
I'll wait to see what the Eclipse salesman said, but when Clay talked to him in December when he purchased Eclipse through Desmond, they wouldn't touch Desmond's price.
Jenny, thanks so much for introducing me to CSRNation! It's really, really cool, but I have been so busy lately I have just not had much time to look around, but every time I do, I find some really great information -- I just need to figure out where to find it. LOL
Hey, if someone can use an answer that I gave, wonderful.
It's the middle of the day, and I'm getting a massage!!
I don't even feel like I need one either. My shoulder has a ping in the tip -- right at the rotater cuff, so I thought I'd get it worked out and be pain free my next week off. WOO-HOO!!!
I got a facial yesterday, and she gave me derma abrasion for my whole face. I'm looking smooth already today, and it actually really looks the best about a week after you have it done.
Too excited about that!
Tomorrow I get my hair done, and I'll have to squeeze in the toes.
I still have not changed the keys, lol! I did try turning them to the outside to tilt higher in the center, but that made my wrists achey, so went back to my normal....which have not caused any issues, just was getting creative, lol. let me know how it goes! maybe I will attempt to play w/those on the back!
Wow, I'm famous and I didn't even know it. What am I doing in the JCR??? Oh, probably passing the RPR, right??
I am drowning in a sea of melancholy, nonproductivity, and just general yuck! Ha! How's that for honesty? My son got sick Friday night with rotavirus and has just finally gotten better today. Of course yesterday my daughter started throwing up so I have been surrounded by sick whiny children for what seems like forever. I miraculously have somehow been able to get in a daily practice session, but not much more than that. Haven't worked in soooo looonnggg I'm not sure if I remember how to administer the oath, lol!!
Oh, girl, you know me. Just being whiny as usual. I just got the kiddos in bed and poured a glass of wine, so my outlook will be much improved in 10 minutes. How goes it with you???
Connection problem not fixed. Some reporters have said try the x1 or EDGE converter. Yeah, it's almost $1,000. CANNOT do that. So I'm going to try to buy some off a reporter on this site that I spoke w/ last week. Wish me luck. UGH. When will it end?????
Don't you love it when students finally listen!! :)
It is such common sense. If you don't push, how are you going to increase speed???
Our local school has a trail class. I KNOW you never had a trail class. They have to take a class that they've already passed the speed.
Guess that's why we have a hate/hate relationship. I have no patience for their nonsense, and they have no patience for me opening up my mouth and calling them out on it.
They get their tuition every month until the student goes to the CSR. Let's hurry up and get them out of school so they don't have to pay us any more money. HA!
Sorry. I'm still feeling sick, so patience is thinner than usual.
Clay's working at my courthouse today. Always so fun having him in the building. He says it feels weird here because everyone knows him. He's the shy guy that likes to hide out and not be noticed -- unless he's on his skateboard.
I live in a community called Bear Creek. My husband's business name is Bear Creek Estates.
It was named by Jack Nicklaus, as we're on one of his golf courses.
Such a coincidence!
I've bombed on Eclipse again. I never called Desmond back after he told me about the two keys for the same price. Well, I called him back and court called me within 30 seconds, so I left a message with the secretary that I wanted the second key, and we both didn't follow up.
I'm really thinking when I'm home the two weeks I'll follow through. I'm also going to get my Mira serviced to see if that will help things. It's really dogging it!

That got out of order. Sorry about that!
Keep icing! Ice is so healing!!

Thanks, again. Talk to you soon.

I'm back. :)
I like the ocean, by the way. HA!
When I can't be in it, I must make a few waves now and then. :)

Man, this vacation thing is ALL RIGHT!!
Where's my spring flowers???
(I was just on Lisa's page. :)
I have about 30 days of plans to fit into the next two weeks. :)
