Complex in Clearwater . The water views , with downtown Tampa in the background , will be missed , but the sights and smells of a new building are alluring . Like many , my day starts with checking email and the calendar as a reminder of the day ’ s meetings . Whether it is a meeting with supervisors in my office , with the larger executive team , or with the Chief and TCA , most weeks include all three . In between the meetings of the day , I work on any number of things — fielding phone calls ; answering judges ’ questions ; conducting legal review of public records under Fla . R . Gen . Prac . & Jud . Admin . 2.420 ; addressing employment issues ; reviewing proposed legislation that might impact the court ; responding to emails and letters received by citizens and lawyers ; reviewing program agreements ; and more . Each day ’ s focus is different than the last . Fairly fast-paced , as attention must be redirected from one task to the next pressing one ,
the days are usually over before I ’ m ready , offering a place to pick up tomorrow morning . It takes many people to efficiently and effectively operate the courts ; I ’ m grateful and proud to play my small part in the administration of justice . n
