I saw your post regarding disability insurance. Did you have it through NCRA? I was hoping you might give me some feedback about how the process worked of filing a claim from start to finish. I just filed my first claim since paying into the insurance for 9 years. Please email me at zenrussell@gmail.com.
Hi Phil,
Thanks for your response, regardless of the fact that you're not full of scopist know-how (and obviously don't need to be). :) Neat to hear that your family got the chance to really live here for a while. I've been here for 19 years and love it. Hope you have a super weekend.
Hi Phil,
I'm making the move to becomming a scopist. But it's a move that is just in its infancy. I see that you're a court reporter, and I know we don't have any CR schools here in Honolulu. But perhaps you could shoot me a message with a bit about scopistry, if you have some info that might be helpful to me as I'm defining this potential profession for myself.
Thanks much,
Karyl
Yea, she gave us a list of questions to ask, more questions about your job rather than transcript and software questions. The point of the assignment is to interview a freelance reporter, federal reporter, and a captionist. Then lastly decide whether or not to choose captioning or judicial reporting. (I personally already know that I want to be a judicial reporter) But I'm doing the assignments and I think that it would be good to learn more about it. I am about 110 words per minute, but by the end of this semester I will be at 160. I'm in the third class, after this I have two more and then I graduate. I'm taking classes from SUNY Alfred in Alfred, NY. I went there for my first year, then moved here to be with my husband as he is in the military...so I am finishing my remaining classes online. I actually have all of my classes done for my degree except two more court reporting classes and my internship. I am learning the Realwrite/Realtime theory.
Sounds like you have your hands full with that brilliant boy of yours! LOL Planning for retirement doesn't sound like such a bad thing though. ;)

I just picked up the blank spots (dropped words) and spaces (ad lib phrases) and figgered out that you are probably the best at what you do, and that I need to share time learning what you know. If you drop out or out of "full time" of Steno, then, how do I learn from you?
I have always wanted to do this all my life. What can you tell me?
thanks again, your new buddy

You told Marge, "I think I'm losing my RPR status for being short .1 credit, and I've already had the alloted extension(s) allowed."
You should volunteer for the Veterans History Project. You only have to transcribe one interview, which will probably be 30-60 minutes long, and you'll receive your .1 CEU. No charge. Just the postage required to return the CD or cassette tape and hard copy printout of your transcript. The interviews are usually interesting, and then you'll keep your membership for another three years.
