It’s a small world after all.
So, I have a client, who is also a client of a state government agency. He has a case worker from this agency, to whom he has to report every week. Often, I’ll take him in to report because it means that I know he’s done it. The case worker and I have a chat while he’s there – she’s lovely. Today we had a case conference about him and during a lull in the conversation, she exclaimed “I know where I know you from!”
It turns out that about 8 years ago, I started a new job. It was the week after my father died and looking back, I didn’t do the job justice. I left after 6 months to go overseas. My client’s case worker was the person who had held the position before me. So I would have seen her name on all the case notes, etc. No wonder her name (rather than her face) was oddly familiar!
