That's so terrible about your hand! Have you seen the chiropractor? Maybe your elbow, wrist and thumb needs an adjustment. A fall is a big deal! Is it swollen at all? I'm sending you lots of sympathy and get-well vibes!
So funny April posted! I'm sure there's many on this site who wear this button:
I'm Jenny's sister April. I was just snooping on Jenny's site, after not checking this forum for at least two months, and I read her comment below. I just had to say this: Jenny is the queen of "No"! She is also the queen of "Always right." (And, much to my disgust, she always is!)
Nooooooooo! November is way too long to wait. Make sure you're on a cancellation list of some kind. My cousins have thyroid problems, and my massage therapist and ex-sister-in-law, Trish. It affects so much!!! Especially weight gain and energy loss!
I think you may need to say no more often to others and steal that time to exercise. Even walk around the block in the early morning before it gets too hot. Go back to bed after or something. Tori and Trina and Monica Gerard from this site are all trying to get in shape. Have you looked at the Weight Watchers group on this site??? No time to read it, huh? I understand!
Linda, it is hot here, but I'm sure nothing like where you're at. I just had my massage this afternoon, and my body is actually better than normal. I have been trying to exercise every day. Either a one or a 2 mile walk away the pounds video.
I am happy to hear you have had some good jobs. You are the only reporter I know who is not complaining about how slow the work is these days. I reported on June 30 and July 1 two all-day extremely technical video depositions which I just uploaded yesterday morning. It was the hardest thing I have ever reported and the hardest thing I have ever scoped and proofed. I used a scopist for one day, but it took me forever to proof it, checking anything with the exhibits. There were way too many quotes! I am scheduled to do another one in that case on the 23rd.
I just got my stenocast red working with my two Acers yesterday morning as well, and today I got my Gemini Grand outputting the notes to my Acer as a backup for my notes. I am a little behind in getting out my normal depositions. I must confess that after reporting those difficult video depositions, my normal work is extremely easy, and I have been lucky to have been reporting pretty easy stuff my entire career. Those days may be over, though, as I need more work! So that's a long answer as to how I have been doing. I have not taken one day or even a half a day off in one month now, and I am pretty well burned out. I am hoping to rest tomorrow, though, right after I finish up one job.
I did sell my LightSpeed this week. Any more thoughts about your writer?
It's probably all in my head Au contraire! It is never all in your head. You are very wise to take it extra easy. Stuff like that can get you down if you overdo. I slipped in the tub/shower when there was a hot-water surge at a hotel while attending the Anita Paul seminar in '05. It took months to get me back where I was pre fall. At least the hotel comped me for my stay, but I couldn't believe how sore I was. So I know what you are talking about.
I just did a two-mile tape, and I feel much better with all that forced circulation!
I'm talking to myself!!! Everybody does that here! I'm so impressed with your iPhone! I just got up from a nap I took with ice over my elbows - Dragon helps so much, but I need extra therapy!
Linda, you left me a comment on your own page! I've done that too!!! Silly me - for some reason I thought you were on CC! Read that post again where I say what I use it for. Practically any editing move you do with the keys. Like every hyperkey. Yesterday I made one that will add dashes to the beginning of the sentence. I say "home dash." My cursor can be anywhere on that sentence.
Read this again - but no glass of wine beforehand!

Too Funny!! I'll have to remember to take those kind of breaks when working, at least before noon. After that they are either sweet, iced tea, or on a good day with no job, wine breaks!!! LOL
I am on Eclipse too. I am sure it won't be hard to set up and I'll have to get it use to my voice but I was thinking of what can I get it to do to help me in Eclipse. I have no imagination!
If you order Pro online, you get support and can get some training. Sure, I'll help you, but I'm on Eclipse so there may be differences! You can ask the online support at the link I sent below. They should know.
I've only used a headset on the job when I need to use my Radio Shack Assisted Listener. I carry it all with me just in case. It has really saved me a few times. It's not wireless. If you find a good wireless one, let me know! Maybe there's posts about that on depoman.
Yes, I'd love to see any pic you can find! I had lots of fun yesterday while taking breaks from scoping by making my own private LOLcat pics. I'll post one of April and Roger on your page, but as soon as you see them, just delete them by clicking on the x in the corner.
You are so lucky to have such a handy husband! I sure hope that is the problem and he can fix it. I am ticked off as well regarding these equipment problems. I believe the Stenocast people should have told me that Stenocast RED was coming out soon - I made it really clear that not only did I want wireless, but I wanted to refresh with Bridge. Well, maybe they did not know at that time. I will never know the answer!
I am finally going to be allergy doctor tomorrow. My sinuses are so bad. I know I need antibiotics. I just found my CT scans 20 minutes ago from 2004, and I am bringing them in with me. I'm sure it's just the same old infection.
You probably should try to get out of the gym membership. Maybe when these computer issues are all ironed out, your energy will free up. That is my hope for myself as well! Today I am going to scope a woman with a very strong accent, although the content was easy. I believe my writer did a good job. It is 80 pages long, however, and I must force myself to take my stretch breaks. I am pleased to hear you are not working all weekend! Yesterday I scoped 85 pages. I would have gotten these two depositions to a scopist, but I want to get them out soon.
I am worried about your mishap at the house. Please take it extra easy on yourself! What do you think my picture with Roger? I will leave it up for a few days, and then I'm deleting it.

Linda, substitute "Jenny" for "Spock"!

Use auto-brief!
vitreous - SR*T
Just add the * in there whenever you can and write a note to yourself explaining what the brief is.
I feel for you! Hope the nurse calls soon!!!
You must learn to say no. It is a skill and it takes practice. I've been practicing for 50 years! I'm extremely good at it!!!
