Leaving Do


 Every company, Charity , ward , and hospice has its rules and regulations. 
And every one deals with a hierarchy that enforces the status quo with varying skills and exhausting constraints 
On a night out  tonight  , with a  much loved colleague leaving 

We are just people saying goodbye to an old friend 
Just people

  5. So true. The hierarchy should be shed as the uniform is removed. I'm so glad all your colleagues seem to have managed that. Not all can! Glad it was a good night. xx

  7. Who's that hiding on the back row behind the lady in red? Is it Wally? I believe that North Americans know him as Waldo.

    I bet it felt so good to unwind yourself from the red tape restrictions and just have a good time with friends. Jan in Castle Gresley

  11. John, you captured the challenge of working in health care. My mom was in a nursing home for the last 6 months of her life. I saw the staff run off their feet as they tended to the needs of 30 residents. Many days the care was custodial in the least as the health care staff managed staff shortages & routine at the expense of personalized care. I like your term "exhausting constraints". And yet there were moments when personalities would shine through.
