Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I work both opening shifts and closing shifts in a typical week, so I'll wake up anywhere from 5am to 11am.

Yeah, in retail I discovered time is just a construct and just planned my sleep around my shift. If I closed tomorrow, I'd just get to bed tonight about 02:30 so I could be up at 10:30. I spent more time exclusively in an opening shift in my 15 years, and so I certainly preferred waking up at 04:30. On any of the schedules that I wrote, I always gave some space around a schedule flip if I needed an opener to close or vise versa, because I know it sucks.

For a year, I worked a single overnight shift and 9-5 otherwise - so I'd just stay up all day Saturday, just basically pull an all-nighter and work through the night Saturday night and then tried to nap as early but as little as possible Sunday so I could still sleep Sunday night ahead of my 9am shift Monday.

There's definitely a variety of shitty schedules in retail. Sucks.
