Boof

Boof left work today for retirement. I saw him at the Hyperdome Monday and gave him a hug. That's when he told me he was leaving and said he would come to see me tomorrow. True to his word as always he rocked up at about 10:30 and I gave him this card I made at 6am this morning. He had tears in his eyes and gave me a huge smacking kiss on the lips. I didn't expect that but had a cry when he left. I wrote inside that card that when he was in the workplace I felt safe and that there are not many good blokes out there these days. And its true everyone is shafting each other on a hourly basis but Ive learned that eventually the shafters get shafted too so really its a level playing ground in the end. Those that were shafted 3 years ago are now in the golden section and on it goes. Boof never played those games but if he had a problem he certainly let everyone know it. And he trusted his staff to do the job they had agreed to do. When he left a year ago due to cancer and recover his team had a meltdown because they were not used to playing games and their new manager was a game player. One word to sum him up TRUST. Its what I understand.
