Wow!! Sounds like you're doing great in school.

What school do you go to?

I went to South Coast College of Court Reporting.

I graduated in 2001 or 2002. I forget. I take depositions.

Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

I love the flexibility of doing depos. There are good days and bad days. I do all sorts of depos - medical, business litigation. It's a little slow right now, but I know it will pick up. It always feels like you're super busy or really slow. There's not often you get a happy medium. But remember, you control how much you work.

How's it going?

How are you clases?

Wow! Congrats! You were right that you were really close to passing! :-) How many more hours do you need? 'Cuz you need to get those done, huh? And regarding 4-Voice, that's been the rule since I was there, that if you don't have 2 highs and 2 lows, you can't sit in qualifiers. Guess you can't argue with it. That's the curse of going through school so stinkin' fast! :-) Blessing and a curse, for sure... but more of a blessing. But you have time. You'll make the next qualifier, no problem. Don't worry! Just call me the afternoon before the day(s) you want to sit out with me. I don't know my schedule yet. Call me!

It's been a little slow, but I can't complain. At least, when it's slow I have time to get caught up on transcripts.

Congratulations on getting that last 200. Did you do anything to celebrate/reward yourself?

Hey,
I go to Argonaut court reporting school in Sacramento...I was just wondering how long it took you to get into your 200's, and how you did it. I started school about 5 months ago and I JUST finished beginning theory and tested out of my 40's. Any advice?!
Thanx,
Julie

Thanks for the advice...Oh to be a natural;-) I will look into the book that you told me about. Have a nice day.

Hey,

There's a group of reporters meeting up on Sunday, April 13th. I'm not sure if it's going to be at PF Chang's or the Melting Pot yet. You should try and make it. Tell any of your student friends. This would be a great opportunity to meet up working reporters and grill them.

Hey, Kathleen! Okay. So I lost track of where you were in the testing process. So you had passed the machine and were just waiting on your academics? Am I correct that now you've passed everything? Yeah, you really need to get back on your machine! I took a month and a half off while waiting for my results, and I was really rusty when I started working. I'd love for you to sit out with me. Just call me any day when you want to sit out the next day, and I'll try to get you in. Good to hear from you! Hope all is well!

Well, I guess it's a little late, but congratulations on passing the CSR. Have you taken your first job yet?

Actually, I think we are getting together end of September or beginning of October.

Yay!! I'm so excited! Well, it's hard to post everything that I want to tell you. Call me, if you don't mind, when you have some time, and have some paper ready, and I'll tell you everything I know! :-) Hehe. My cell is (714) 904-7182, in case you don't already have it. Great job! Congrats!!

hey!! i'm in northern california, northeast of sacramento. i'll most likely be working in sacramento, or in the county (el dorado) i live in. how about you? i'm waiting for my certificate to come in the mail! how long did yours take to come?

okay i think on ur page it says you wrote back to me, but i never got it! it's not on my page! but i just looked my number up online!! it's 13374. sooo excited!! :)

Hey,

Just wanted to check in and see how you're doing. How's life in the fast lane?

yaaay how exciting! i can't believe you're working so much. that's awesome! i have my first job on wednesday!! i'm like freaking out kinda haha. any suggestions? how are transcripts going? are you going to vegas?

That's terrific. I'm glad you're working and enjoying it. I'm doing okay.

Hey how is it going? I know what you mean about life being crazy right now!! My first job was crazy hard, and i'm working on the tript right now. It's going to be about 200 pages! are you using scopists or proofers at all? i'm looking for a proofer!

Hey, Kathleen. How are you doing out working? I hope it's going well!

Hey,

It's been a while I'm sure you've been busy with work. Just wanted to let you know that Marla is having a SoCal reporters get-together this Sunday in Pasadena. It's a great opportunity to meet other working reporters and network.

I've heard it's been really slow! The bummer is that here come the holidays, followed by January, and it's usually slow anyway, so I have a bad feeling that it's going to be extra slow this year. I hope not, though!! But we have been really steady and haven't slowed down yet, so we'll keep you in mind if we get anything! Thanks for the reminder!

On a side note, I'm pregnant! I don't think I've told you yet, so I wanted to make sure you knew. If I've already told you, forgive me. I just thought you, as a mommy, would be excited. :-)

It's supposed to be 4 o'clock in Pasadena. You can come back and unwind w/some tapas. Join the SoCAL CSR forum, the details are there.

Hey,

Marla is having another get-together at the Winery in Tustin at the District. It's very close.
