Not tough S-O-F-T

My "be tougher" regime didn't really last long (just over 48 hours) unfortunately.

It fell apart when three Health Care Support Workers walked onto the ward this morning on an early shift, especially after I'd given the lone one on the afternoon a (legitimate) bank holiday after a family accident.

> One was meant to be on an early.
> Another was meant to be coming in 8 - 4 to act as a play specialist (whilst ours remains on a phased return)
> The third was meant to be on a 10 - 6, but came in early 'cause she had an appointment that evening and "Didn't think it would matter!"

They really don't do themselves any favours; but I am equally to blame as I should have obviously made it clearer on the off-duty and should have reviewed the situation at the beginning of the shift not at after midnight, not that it would have made ANY difference.
