I
first started working for the back office for a Court Building in
August 2012 and left a little over ten years later at the start of
October in 2022.
After
working for the Co-operative for five and a half years from 2006 to
2011, I have to be honest and at the time of joining them I wasn’t
sure whether I wanted to work long term for another company after the
way my job at the Co-operative fizzled out.
It
is also worth stating at the time of joining I was newly diabetic
after becoming Diabetic in August of 2011 and still hadn’t at that
stage got it under control and was quite vulnerable emotionally and physically what I could and couldn’t do.
Joining
the Court through a agency, I was told it would be ongoing temporary
and I was left there thinking I wasn’t sure, perhaps I would do it
for a few months maybe six while looking for a more permanent role.
After
9 months, it became apparent that the Court wanted me to work for
them for a fixed term contract away from the agency and I entered
this after twelve months then after another year it went permanent
and before I knew it, ten years had passed and the building I worked
in I got advised was going to close and the staff that were still
there was going to be transferred across a call centre (which I had
no interest in working for).
Over
this ten year period, even though I rarely actually attended court
itself I however heard lots of stories, some of which clearly were
myths, some were little more than gags / jokes and some were well..
I’ll let you decide for yourself.
This
book was developed and wrote slowly over a number of years and looks
at things from a different way that perhaps isn’t covered as much
as normally you see in the press.
This
is a book where going to Court isn’t a joke, it is a experience
that very few people get to experience on a regular basis that can
only be looked at from the inside.
This
is a story which looks at the system with a sense of humour that can
only seen be from the inside not the outside.
The book is available at all of the usual places including Amazon
