Hi Steven,
I'm so glad that I'm not a total loser and actually know someone on this site!!! I was feeling kind of stupid with no friends! Do you mind if I add you as a friend?

Hi Nic: I'm a reporter in Escondido, been working 18+ years here in San Diego; also licensed in Nevada and an RPR. I write realtime. I'd be happy to be a friend :)

Hey Nic,
Thanks for introducing me to this site. However, I'm going to need help getting my page up and running!! Talk to you soon :-)

Welcome to CSRnation!

Hi Nic: I'm about the worst person to ask about L.A. rates or social gatherings! I've worked for the same firm basically for 18 years, and they have a hard time talking me into traveling to L.A. anymore, so I have no idea what the rates look like, other than they're higher than we are down here.

Also, as far as social gatherings, we used to have a local association called GRASD (General Reporters Association of San Diego) but it disbanded a couple years ago. A close friend of mine was the president, and she basically single-handedly kept it going for a couple years, but it's hard to do all that work without help from others. I know everyone was sad that it went away, but not enough for anyone to take on the responsibility.

If I hear of any reporter get-togethers, I'll let you know :)

Hey Nic!...found you! I was craving Tender Greens mashed potatoes today....urgh! Thanks for feeding me! =) Stay in touch.

I plan to go, but I may go to the Early Bird since it's back-to-school time. I have to be available in the afternoon for the little one.

Pam's super sweet. She takes real good care of me. Hope to see you soon!

Happy Birthday from CSRnation!

Hi Nic:
Glad to hear things are going well for you in San Diego! I do freelance work, but I have a firm that I've worked with for many years, and I give them first crack at my time. Things cancel and go off, though, so it can't hurt to give me a call. E-mail me at lynpenfield@cox.net and I'll give you the myriad of ways to get ahold of me!

Well, Nic, ya just missed the big San Diego outing, sorry to say. It was our lowest turn-out yet - only five of us. That was our ninth one. They're usually in LA, but I've had a couple in OC. I was hoping to have another one before the end of the year and then a weekend spa getaway in Palm Springs in January. Send me your email address, and I'll add you to my invitation list. And send me any email addresses for reporters you think would like to be invited as well.

Glad you appreciated the rates range. Just FYI, there are agencies that still pay $3.50/pg here, but I don't work for any of them, and neither do my reporter friends.

For some reason, your name sounds familiar. But I don't know why. I'm a reporter in Orange County, and I would love to cover any jobs you have in Orange County, south Los Angeles County, and a little ways into Riverside.

Feel free to give me a call or visit my page. I'd love to chat.

I can help with your proofreading. I work on both Eclipse and Catalyst. If you are interested, you're welcome to e-mail (bhurleyfan@yahoo.com).

Hi Nic,
I am a retired reporter. I don't have Eclipse but can do an rtf and then you can import if that works. Kathy (Specialcola@aol.com)

Hi Nic, I am a veteran reporter who is getting into captioning, so I would love to proofread for you as my depo work will be less. email me at robbonm@aol.com.

Hi Nic,
I am a reporter doing proofing on the side now because reporting is slow in my area. I know you want an Eclipse proofer, but you can always send me an ASCII and then I send back an errata. I would never correct something within your system, as that is up to you to correct something or not. Anyways, if you need help, send me an email fowler.laura@sbcglobal.net

Also, I have been a reporter for 23 years, so have lots of experience behind me.
Thanks,
laura Fowler, CSR, CRR

Hi Nic,

I am a proofreader and am looking for some extra work. I have worked for one court reporter steadily for over two years now, and then another reporter off and on whenever she calls. I do not have Eclipse, but work solely from attachments sent to me in emails. However, I do charge quite minimally in order to keep my clients. I charge .30 a page and usually have a turnaround of 48 hours, unless it is a pretty big file. In the event that it is a bigger file, I will send you sections at a time in order to help you keep up with your work.

I am very reliable and very thankful for any work that comes my way. Please keep me in mind for any work you may have.

Have a great day!

Nic, when you cover the job please post it on here.

thanks!

Nic,
I am on Eclipse 4.3. I charge .35 per page for proofing and can make the corrections directly in the ecl file in a different color so you can easily see what has been changed. I prefer to proof the job on paper first and then I make the corrections on the computer. I have been a certified court reporter in Texas for 18 years but recently relocated to a state that I'm not certified in. I am now proofing and scoping for other reporters and have no plans to get certified here. Please e-mail me at LKGARR129@gmail.com if you are interested. I am very dependable and will research terms and spellings as needed.

Thank You,
Linda
