A couple of us stayed over after the afternoon shift yesterday to cover for any nightshift or morning shift that couldn't make it in. Ended up sleeping all night and offering to work this afternoon, albeit a tad unshaven and in need of a shower!
The way I saw it, as I was sitting around slurping coffee and eating sandwiches, was that plenty of people have been forced to do worse things in worse conditions in places like Dunkirk, Stalingrad, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc etc and never moaned about it or asked for recognition or a days leave back.
Oh not to mention the many nurses, quacks, ambulance crews and police officers who all seemed to make it to their respective shifts last night and today no problem without saying 'sod it, lets stay at home and make a snowman instead.'
**** happens, just get on with it.
