Hi Diane, My email is sgilk4@verizon.net. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi, Diane!

I would love to talk about my experiences. I would like to hear some of yours, too. I just didn't want to scare the daylights out of the person that was having the problem. Also, I didn't want to make the response too long because I notice people lose their attention span if it's too long. Any time you're ready, tell me how to proceed.

Nice hearing from you!

Hi Diane,
I briefly read your bio, I too went to SCC, but years and years ago.
I'm still having a problem w/ printing. I'm not too computer savy. Can you call me? 714-514-9105. I'm home all day. I would really appreciate it.

Hey Diane,
How are you? Did you apply for Riverside Courts? Let me know. I don't know if you have my number any longer but here is my e-mail and we can contact each other through there. cbicad1998@yahoo.com

They were worried about preeclamsia too but I tell ya, I have not had any swelling at all in my hands ankles feet, nothing. It's just alllll in my belly. I look sooo big but she is actually small. I was 36 weeks Monday but she's measuring a little over 32 weeks, and three weeks ago, she only weighed 3 pounds, 15 ounces, so if she only gains another pound by the 15th, then she'll barely be 5 pounds...but we will find out tomorrow.
I'll cross my fingers for you on the hearing test! Enjoy your holiday season =)

Thanks, Diane. This is the wonderful thing about having a child later in life....we are sooo ready for it and enjoying every second of the process...or at least I have been up until the last couple weeks. I have soooo much amniotic fluid, that's why I am extra uncomfortable. It's hard to even enjoy laying around and napping and eating, I'm just ready to see her shining little face =)

Hi there. I didn't know you didn't know I was pregnant. Yes, it is my first. I quit working a couple weeks ago and I am sooooo tired and achy and, etc. etc...! Read my response in the blog again and I describe what's been going on with my blood pressure. We will find out tomorrow if they're going to induce me earlier than the 15th, otherwise, the 15th it will be =) I plan on taking off until about March or so.
How have you been?

Hey saw you at South Coast for the test. Sorry I didn't have a chance to talk to you. How do you think you did on the transcription portion. I wish we had time to talk. But I was already seated at my chair when I saw you walk in and then I opted to not type it out and left. I wish you luck. I hope you got it. I saw your blog about the computer. I hope all is well.

Hello Denise. I went to SCCCR at night after my school (Lee College of Court Reporting) closed down. I type recorded reports (computer only) and other documents as needed. My job is low key, low stress, which gives me time to practice or do transcripts. Sure beats flipping burgers, until I can get to court. Yah!

Hi, Diane. I was just reading your post and the part about working for the Anaheim PD caught my eye. I too am a grad of SCC(meaning SCCCR, right?!). I actually attended when it was located in Westminster, then FV, then Anaheim, among its other locations. I'm became a scopist after taking the RPR and only passing the WKT portion...ugh... Anyway, when I was in school one of my instructors was encouraging me to take a job w/ the Brea PD. At the time ('90s) as well as now I'm not clear on what is it I'd do (or what it is you do) for the PD. If you could enlighten me, that'd be great.
Oh...and I've added you as a friend.... Hope you accept!

Hello Cecy and thanks for adding me as a friend. I'm going to be trying out for the CA Hearing Reporter, so we'll see what happens. I'm still trying to get into court, but until then...

You know, I felt the interview went fairly well, but you never can tell. I was very comfortable and it lasted about an hour. So why haven't you pro tem'd yet? I've gotten some calls, but I wasn't able to go in. I actually just got back from Texas. My son's grandfather passed away. So I had to go up there on an emergency basis. It was unexpected. Definitely keep in touch. You have my number.

Hi Diane,
How are you? Have you been pro tem'd in court yet? If so, I hope all went well. Everything on this end is good. I took the County test and just had my interview last week. What about you. Let me know. Keep in touch.

Hi Diane, check out The Brief Zone !

Great pic. Your daughter is beautiful!!
You probably remember Anita from school. I did. I had her join this site. I see her on the train when I go to LA sometimes.

Thank you very much, Trina, for your help. I will contact Anita today and let her know you referred her name to me. I tested last year in April and have until the end of May (or so) until my one year is up on the waiting list. Through the grapevine, I understood ten more reporters were taken from the list. Maybe there's still hope for me...! It is a frustrating position to be in, but in the meantime I'm learning to clean my RT writing, and I decided to prepare for the upcoming Workers' Comp test May 17th. Yesterday I received a letter from WC announcing the test, so I think I'll go for it. I need to be working on my machine every day and not just part-time. I work for an L.A. agency part-time while keeping my full-time job here at the Anaheim PD. I transcribe (keyboarding) and do other office duties. I really like my job, but it is not court reporting. Okay, now I'm rambling....!

Ah, thanks. I am very happy =) Gotta hop in the shower right now but I'll send you an email to your home address later today when I get home.
Have a great day!

Oh mi gosh, Diane!! I saw your name and I remembered you. Remember me? Used to be Mary Motley. We were at Lee College together. Congratulations on making it. What an accomplishment!!!! Are there others that you were still going to school with that I may remember from Lee? There's so many faces I can picture but can't remember a name...just like with you, until I saw your name and I remembered you instantly!!!
