some people are more important than others

I arrived at the Supreme Court a little earlier than necessary but then if I am not a half hour early then I am late.   I don't like to be rushed.  I would prefer to have plenty of time to look around and get the feel of a place.  I walked through the front doors and followed the young girl in front of me.   As she swiped her card I suddenly noticed the sign on the door.   Staff entrance.  Ooops.  I stopped abruptly and looked around.  There to my right was a huge door with a secruity system similar or the same as they have at airports.  Just put all your items on the conveyor any loose items put them in a tray.   I put my bag on the conveyor and my folder with my ipad in a tray. I've got no idea what I have in my bag.  I looked at him.  Could be anything.  Take off your belt and anything you may have in your pockets including coins and put them in the tray.  I was a bit taken aback.  I wasn't expecting this. For a moment there I just couldn't think.  What did I have in my coat pockets, did I have anything in my pants pockets.   I began patting myself down.   I don't have any idea what I have on me.  I looked at the guy like he might be able to give me a bit of a clue.   He smiled at me.   Thats OK he said just walk through the screen and it will tell me if you have anything.  I felt relieved and stopped patting myself down.  I walked through the archway and didn't make a sound.  I picked up my bag and folder.   Your a bit early the guy was making conversation.   Yes I know I replied but it is a lot warmer in here than it is out there.  There are always chairs you can sit down on.   I smiled and headed for the elevator.   Level 2 and I stepped out.  There was already a couple waiting and about 10 minutes after I arrived a young girl came and sat down.  I looked at their small historical display -  The inebriates act of 1857 - I had never heard of that before. 
About 5 minutes before the doors opened a (I assume) barrister in his full black gown loaded with 3 folders came and stood right in front of the doors.  He was going to be the first one in.  Bugger anyone else who had been waiting.   I looked at him with his shaved head - so full of himself and thought TWOT.  I stood beside him with my pink folder and when the doors clicked he pushed them open and rushed through the doors with black robes flying, rushed straight to a ticket machine just inside the room punched a docket out on the machine and sat down.  There you go, he had a use afterall.  I would have wandered around aimlessly trying to figure out what to do.  I punched a docket out for myself and sat down.  A couple of minutes later and my number was called.  The job was done in half an hour and I was out of there.  All the staff that I had contact with were fantastic and I have to say that I would give them all gold stars.
