So glad to see that you joined! Love the photo! So why is Corrie going to kill you?

Hello back, Ms. Kim S.! I am glad to see you here, and yes, your full name showed up! Ah yes, food. One of the arguments I used in favor of Prop. 11 was that letting legislators draw the map was like letting me guard the ice cream.

Actually, I think things seem to be a bit better. I have been doing a lot of work in court (I pro tem) and anticipate more work as the holidays approach.

Hey, Kim

I absolutely love CAbi clothes. Have not been to a party lately but the clothes are the best. Glad to see you on the Nation!!

Hi Kim!!! I'm loving my CAbi clothes :)) So good to see you here!!! I hope to see you soon :)

Thanks, pal! I am happy you are loving your CAbi. New line comes out Feb. 1!! Whoo-hoo. I am such a rookie at these sites. I just had my 17yo help me photos, etc. yesterday. Love the brief forum and naturally the cover depos. Where's Colleen on this site??

Hi, Kim. Your name is REALLY familiar! Did you use to work at the Marin County Courthouse? Do you know Julie (Williams) Caputo?

I am tentatively scheduled for a 3:00 p.m. WC in Oakland on Tuesday. I should know from the attorney tomorrow morning if it's going to go forward or not. If I was done by 1:00 p.m., I could double-up, but that is probably cutting it too close for your client. I can let you know in the morning if my job cancels or else I can give you the name of a few reporters up in that area who could cover it for you. Let me know what you would like to do. Kim

Hey Kim! YES, I did work for Marin. And YES I do know Julie (who makes me soo mad she's not using her hard-earned skills!!) Sounds good about letting me know tomorrow. You do not want to be driving all over the countryside though. It is a chiropractor (which I forgot adds a little more to the page rate too) so I am sure they'll be finished. But I hate to have you drive all the way to Oakland after. Let me know! Thanks for responding so fast too!

Hi, Kim S. Think this was meant for you, not me... ;)

Hi Kim,
I'm trying to sending you a message (on another window), but my screen has been saying "Sending message" for the last 10 minutes.
Unfortunately, I am already scheduled for Tuesday. Thank you for asking. Out of curiosity, how did you get my name? I'm glad you did. It's always great to hear from other court reporters.
Sherry

Hi, Kim. I don't mind driving all over the Greater North Bay on Tuesday. I can't even tell you the long string of cancellations that I have had the past week, so I would just be ecstatic to have two jobs confirm in one day! LOL!

Julie has been sitting in with other reporters to build up her speed again. She'll get back to work eventually, but those cutie pies of hers make it hard for her to tear herself away from home. She'll return to the field -- I'm certain of it -- but for now, she's enjoying her time as a SAHM while she can afford to be in that position.

My cell number is 707-235-6087. You can call me tomorrow if that is easier. Otherwise, I will send you a message here once I get back home around 11:00 a.m. to let you know the status of my day on Tuesday. And again, I don't mind doubling up one bit. I know two reporters in Cloverdale, though, and can forward their names and numbers on to you if you'd prefer to go that route. Enjoy what's left of the weekend! Kim

That is awesome, Kim! I know the feeling of having a full week, and everything crashes...or the opposite. I am happy to have you take it if you don't mind the haul. If you change your mind, I will take those other rptrs' numbers. Let's both keep in touch tomorrow and see what's happening. I will put your number and cell in my Blackberry. And my cell is 707-338-4426, and you can e-mail me directly at kimscsr@comcast.net. (Don't forget that "s" in between as an East Bay Kim has kimcsr. Unfortunately, she gets lots of my mail...argh.) I am happy to hear Julie is gearing up again. You must have known each other from school too, huh?

Oops, I meant to say I have had a ton of cancellations for the past MONTH, not week. What a whiner I would be if it was just a week worth of cancellations. Lol! Anyways, no, I don't mind the miles on the road. I have young kids and it gives me time to listen to "my" music and think while surrounded by silence...ahh! ;) Talk to you tomorrow! Kim
