R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y ~ AN ACROSTIC SONNET

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

DUE TO THE CONSTRAINTS & RESTRAINTS OF COVID 19 ~ We are all being asked to keep more Balls in the Air at the same time. If we are still in a JOB we are Happy to comply with any requests to keep our Country moving and our Economies afloat ! The nonagenerians ~ we speak to in the UK say it is (in some aspects) worse than WW2 ! At least then - you could see the enemy  - and do something about it !  Love Angela & Brian ðŸ’›ðŸ’›ðŸ’›

 

R ESPONSIBILITY  is something  we  

E XPECT  as we get Older ~ and get more

S ENIOR  Work positions ~ We become       

P ARENTS & GRANDPARENTS ~ Heads of our own

O FFSPRING Dynasty ! How well d*we cope with

N EW RESPONSIBILITIES ?  Often in .......

S UPPLEMENT to our existing Roles ~ and

I  NUNDATED with demands on our Time !

B ECAUSE I am now a Charted Chemist 

I  VE been appointed College Chair of the

L OCAL  Health & Safety Committee ~ WOW !

I  N Her Job Angela*s responsible .......

T O both Teach & Train Physio Recruits !

Y OU never know what New Role You will get !

 

Thanks for visit comments please Love Angela 💛 Brian

 

Have you ever been asked to take on an additional Responsibility at Work with no extra Pay or reduction in your normal role ? How have you coped with the Responsibility of being a Parent or a Grandparent ? We guess the latter is easier because at the end of the Day ~ You can send them back HOME ~ AMEN !

    A fine write B&A.We can only do so much - the ridiculous and impossible: 'Must give 110%.'
    In some job descriptions, I think 'That looks like 2, or even 3, jobs to me' Dogsbody in other words. 'Woof! Not you Fido! (dogs. lol)

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Brian here ~ Thanks for your comment Uncle Steve. On e does not like to say NO when asked or elected ! Its only afterwards one realises what one has taken on ! C*est la vie !

      Blessing to You & Your Dogsbody !

        Well, one job description looked suspicious. Genuine, but hints of a dogsbody. It included the words 'Notifies Manger when stationery supplies are low'. Plus, probably, 'supplies of refreshments' - has to get the tea bags in, and the loo rolls. Well, someone has to! Doh!

      • Michael Edwards

        Oh yes - I chaired the University Hospitals of Leicester Ethics committee, was Chairman of the (now defunct) Association of Litigation and Risk Managers, Chair if the Board of Governors of a local School, non-exec Director of a local charity, and all for no recompense. Brings back memories.
