An ancient elevator in the Court House, complete with sliding grate door and an 'operator' in uniform, perched on a stool in the corner, 'manning the lift'.
Me: pensive, nervous, riding up to the top floor to testify in a criminal trial, hoping some perv gets a LONG sentence for the rape of a 5 yr old child.

I’ve seen you before.
A social worker, huh?
How long you been doing that?
Me: 31 years.
AEO: as he opens the door and I exit:
Wow, I’m surprised you can walk so good; that takes some big balls!
Me: smiling all the way into court…
pretty damn proud of the walk I’m walking– even if I can’t wear big girl heels anymore!
