I really like my schedule. I work Sunday - Thursday with Friday and Saturday off. Having Fridays off is wonderful. And it helps my boss is super cool and really likes me. I've gotten some good feedback from him (and he's gotten some from other people about me), which I will use to my advantage when I have my review.

Why?? I was gonna say you're crazy to agree to that but to be fair my only reasoning is "...but concerts start at 9pm?!?!" At least you get to sleep in everyday?

I just worked 7 days in a row but I got the next three days off and then my only day off next week is Saturday that I requested so I can see USMNT in Jacksonville and then it's probably another 6 or 7 days in a row because the company I work for gets mad orgasms from being perpetually understaffed.

I actually have a set schedule save for like one day a week now.
8-5, five days a week. Then like some occasional bullshit 6th day at like 3am or something.

I'm working over 40 hrs a week, I barely sleep, I eat Oreos for dinner, and I have to walk everywhere.
I'll probably make it another week before just dropping dead.

Anyway, the work on 3rds is laid back but different from 2nds, which is faster paced.

To be continued...

it was that or 8 in the morning with no weekends

although one thing is that they offer "vto" which they open up all the time for you to just go home at a certain time and use your PTO...i'm hoping i can use this because SWANS plays my first week out of training and i've already missed them on the last two tours

i'm just really excited to have conversations with people about their cancer or the fact that there is a cure but obama won't release it because he's hitler reborn

i go to school from 10a-2p Mon - Thur, work 4 out of 5 days (usually, sometimes all 5) Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun. Two nights during the week (5-9:30 usually, sometimes to 11:30), and generally mid shifts on the weekends (somewhere between 8 am and 8 pm) with some rare exceptions. 25-30 hours total per week.

We don't have set schedules but you can put in availability, so I'm off Mon/Thur and only after 5 Tues/Wed. I am completely their bitch Fri-Sun.

I also set down the pattern that I don't come in on my off days if they call me, so they never call me anymore.

Like why in Gods name would anyone see that work is calling on their off day, and then proceed to answer it? Whyyy? What else could they possibly want?

I'm usually in the building 9-2 Mon - Thu, then 9:30-12 on Sunday.

I have a random (non existent) work schedule when I have to organise something for an event... So sometimes I'm up all night and in all weekend. But it's flexible too, so if I have errands to run, I can usually leave early or come in late, during a normal week. The family-friendly nature of working for a church offsets the minimum wage pay, for the most part.

it's ALWAYS motivated by either fear or...well mostly fear.

there are SOME mad, mad people that actually want to do it for overtime or more tips or whatever

Long story short, I couldn't get 120 orders every night because I'm OCD about every detail.
And I never had any errors...but somehow almost everyone else could get 120+ every night, but I know they had tons of errors.
