    Hi Andrea,
    I also am from the SF Bay Area. Always glad to meet reporters in the area.
  • Andrea M. Ignacio

    Well, Mondays are my days off, unless a realtime job calls me, but that's my schedule. I work Tues - Fridays. My 5 yr old, Keana, starts kindergartten this year, and the baby, Leilah is in daycare Tues - Friday, so kids are home with me on Mondays. I also have a 13 yr old stepdaughter who stays with us off and on. Is your oldest in kindergarten already? I would love to get the kids together for a play date, and some good mommy daughter outings would be cool. What's your schedule like?

    Hi Andrea,

    Glad to see you on here :-)
  • Andrea M. Ignacio

    Judy, Thanks for thinking of me, but I'm actually already booked that day, but I knw a reporter in Sacramento that could probably help you out. Her name is Maryann Valenoti and her email is: maryannhope@comcast.net. Hope that helps. Maybe next time. BTW - your wedding photo is stunning.

    Hi Andrea,
    Thought I would just pop over here and "meet" some new people!! I went to CR school for 3 years, but then changed my major to scoping. Please let me know if there is anything you need!
  • Stacy Wages

    Thanks!
  • Quyen

    Good to see you, Andrea! How did that job in Taiwan(?) go?
  • Andrea M. Ignacio

    Hey, Quyen,

    Well, it went. Sunday through Fridays, 9:30 - 6:30. So long days and quick turnarounds, and being that the time zone is the exact opposite. I was exhausted. Put it this way, you feel like you're working hard for your money because you're so wiped, but the experience was great. How are things for you? Hope all is well.
  • Susan Magee

    OMG - Your kids are adorable!
  • Quyen


    Hi, Andrea! Wow, those really are long days! I bet you made a boat-load of dough on that job, though! Good for you! Things have been really slow, supposedly. LOTS of cancellations, but I'm not starving ... YET. Haha! Hopefully, things pick up again -- soon!
  • Quyen

    Your kids are beautiful!

  • Melody

    Hi Andrea - I'm the scopist Janis referred you to. Great to hear from you! I tried sending an email, but it got returned saying your mailbox is unavailable. I'd be happy to send it again (my rate sheet was attached). Do you have an alternate email address?

    Mine is Melody@hillcountrytx.net

    I look forward to hearing from you and working out the details. I'm available next week.

  • Michael D. Chaney

    Well, Andrea, thank you for your kind comments. I notice your CSR # indicates you're a vet like me with over 15 years experience. I grew up in the Bay Area, but I guess you already know that from visiting my site. I've requested you as a friend. I would be honored, thank you. Now, just one question: How did you find me and what led you to my site? Just browsing or did someone refer you to me? I'm interested & curious. Until I hear from you, I remain, Me.

    Your little girl is very cute.

    I found Federal Court incredibly hard. But I know if I keep going back, it will get better. Some judges are easier than others. Just like the depo world. Some attorneys are easier and some are harder. But there seems to be more paperwork for the Federal Court.
  • Patricia Y. Schuler

    Hi Andrea, are you able to cover a job for me in SF on 12/19, all day? Stephen recommended you. Please say you can! It's a regular depo, nothing difficult!!! thanks!
  • Kyung

    Hope your kids had a great Christmas.

    Hi Sugar, sorry to hear about your divorce. It's nice to put a face to the voice. You're adorable. So is your baby! Are you still doing work for DFW? Roberta and Becky left. Have they called you to go to work for the company they're with now? I would love to catch up with you via phone.
