I’m trying not to nap so badly cause it’s too close to the time I need to actually sleep but it’s a STRUGGLE
#I woke up at 12am last night and couldn’t get back to sleep🥲#then worked close to a 9 hour shift#I got like 4.5-5 hours of sleep max🪦#my battery is powering down

getting home at 11 and having to 'wake up' at 730 because some toyota group of 100 people decided to book a private an hour before we open 🧍🏻♀️
#its 5am now which i dont wanna talk about (i played through one of little to the lefts dlcs)#which means i'll be extra tired bUT if i didnt work closing last night i guarantee i woulda been asleep by 9 :/#me: i cant work wednesdays and i prefer opening#my manager: okay *schedules me for wednesday and all closing shifts#its literally in my availability i cant work wednesday (ive literally never been able to work a wed)#idk how it allows her to schedule me for it if its not in the system lol#anyway i work 8 hours tomorrow which sounds normal but remember the 100 ppl event PLUS another normal weekend day of loud children#also like 5 people called out suspiciously all sick. convenient how that happens the day before a big weekend huh#i mean i totally would do it too if it wasnt the night before and if i wasnt scared of missing work#but my manager also said absoluetly no callouts allowed bc its a big weekend#and now suddenly everyone is sick the night before the big weekend ? aight bro#its funny to me tho bc they keep asking for coverage but no one is replying so theyre stuck w the shift anyway AHAHA#trials and tribulations of kats work life

I do worry if I get the job im applying for I’ll “relapse” or “slip back” or what have you. Because if I get the job I will 100% have the money to get blackout drunk 7 days a week and from my vantage point right here I will take it. It takes a great deal of sacrifice and suffering for me to skip a day or even get less drunk than usual and with the whole “having a job and being more physically and emotionally drained” I’m almost certainly gonna drink more to cope. I dunno.
#luke.txt#drunkposting#i am perfectly capable of doing school hungover so I assume that will apply for work too#and either way the mall opens at 10 am which is SUPER LATE for a hangover to still be at its nastiest#I do worry about the fact the mall closes at 9#and if I get home at 9:30 from work at 9#I won’t have med time to get drunk#which I will almost certainly NEED after work#so either I say sorry I can’t close Fucking Ever and risk not getting hired because of that#or I suffer in the torture labyrinth#god. god god god.#I do have days of the week ranked most to least good days to get drunk#taking my probable work hours in mind#but who knows! who knows#I need this job so bad holy shit#I don’t CARE if it’s $10.85 an hour! 1 shift buys a weeks worth of vodka!!!‼︎

everyone: barbenheimer💣💕🔪🌺🖤💞
movie theater employees, on this, the opening weekend:
#I came in early yesterday#my manger said that meant I could leave early#I left 15mins before we closed#So not early#it was like a 9 1/2 hour shift#the line from the concession wrapped around the cash register on the other side of the foyer#we ran out of the barbie popcorn boxes on DAY ONE#(people were yelling about it too)#(like it's the fault of the underplayed hungover 20 year old who's giving you the popcorn)#the trash was picked up two days ago#the garbage room is already full again#we added an IMAX for 1pm Friday on Thursday. on Friday on 12:30 we had like... 20 out of 365 seats left#maybe less#anyway#I'm on day 2 of this madness and I'm ready to keel over and die on the floor of storage room three (IT'S EMPTY ANYWAY)#thank you for listening imma go back to work now#barbenheimer#oppenheimer#barbie

one of my friends experiencing the plot of a teen drama:
another gaining their obligatory toxic ex:
me having the most chill drama-free life:
#i have watched teen dramas with worse plots than the first one#im also the only one hearing about it cos im the only close friend who had no connection to the man so it cant get back to him from me#friends#drama#she also told me there had been a development right before her 9 hour shift so i ahd to wait all day#(she obviously did get breaks but the people she works with were involved)#i did also have all my drama at the start of senior school#like i watched two of my friendship groups fall appart though i was the issue than realised this other girl who was also in both groups was#actually the issue as she became more overtly toxic#which ive been watching from the side line#so i havent got away stock free#but its strange being so calm whilt my friends are going through shit tm

This is going to be a long next few days...
#that time of year where we overhaul the fabric layout#which is something that has to be done when the store is closed#volunteered for overnights the next few days to get some extra hours#i usually don't stay up past 9/10pm#i'll be at work until 2am the next few days#plus the hour drive home#so up super early today to take a nap before the overnight shift later tonight

I tried to talk to my manager about my availability and how I can’t just work 2 long shifts (I’m talking 6+ hours) back to back and also that I SPECIFICALLY said that I can’t work mornings (I have a morning shift next week for some reason) and she COMPLAINED IN FRONT OF ME to a supervisor about how “ouuuu everyone keeps trying to get me to change the schedule and attacking me😫😫😫🥺🥺🥺” like I wasn’t standing right there trying to advocate for myself like girl you’ve been here 3 days but that doesn’t mean you can just take advantage of the employees schedules and try and make people work hours they can’t, then complain and moan when said workers tell you that they can’t work the hours…figure yourself out
#I’m here for 9 hours today and then tomorrow I have a 6 hour closing shift#I’m literally disabled dawg I will literally throw up if I’m worked too hard#working retail#retail workers#retail woes

god that "morning people are an oppressive class" post annoys me in some way i cant. quite. ugh
#toy txt post#it doesnt feel quite right to me...........#maybe im just a Morning Person. lol. lmao even#idk how much that is true vs in high school i felt very much like a morning person bc#i was taking my adderall with coffee and then it would all wear off right at the end of the day and id crash soooo hard and have like.#anxiety attacks every night and just be generally overstimulated and irritable as hell#which is mostly managed now by me trying to be smarter about caffeine consumption (amount + when) and on a lower dose of adderall#but it does feel like a lot of that shit mentioned would be adequately covered by like. being able to take time off work to go to the#doctor etc. idk#im half joking these days when i ID as a morning person but legally none of you are allowed to get up my ass about it🔪#bc of the nocturnal bullshit i pulled on second shift for like 3yrs after everything around me decided to start closing early after the#pandemic hit even tho theyve re lifted every other miniscule precaution they ever enforced#probably bc no one wants to work night shift at the grocery store for like 12$ an hour. fucking offer better pay idiots#god even when i was a package handler working the super inconvenient hours of 3am-like. 9. 10am(inconvenient my ass that was ideal hours.)#the main reasons ppl left for other jobs: hours suck and they got offered better pay. they cant adjust the hours. so they shouldve#increased the pay to retain. and maybe have more structured start and end times that were less up in the air#like all the drivers leave at 9am so if theres anything left on the truck thatll be for tomorrow. since that fuckin happened anyway. idk.#honestly wouldve been more important to me to have consistent start times cos thats one of the things that pissed me off about that job was#like youd go in and before you left youd have to ask what the start time would be tomorrow cos they kept jumping all over the place by like#15min increments and like its once thing to do it on occasion to try to deal with like Bad Weather but it was like fucking Daily#and sometimes theyd write it on the little whiteboard. but sometimes they wouldnt. and sometimes theyd write it on the little whiteboard#and leave it up there forget to erase it and it would still be there but they told you as you walked out actually its not 4:30 tmrrw its 3#idk. i know the main real reason i miss it is cause it was part time and the day ended at like 9am usually

Nothing like ending an eight hour shift by bursting into tears on the cycle home👍
#eight hours shift on my own and when I tried to tell people the shop was closing they ignored me👍#I know YOU only got here five min ago but I have been here since 9:45 am and I don’t get paid past 6pm. fuck off.#it’s not even work that’s upset me it’s just exhausted me

ughhh mistakes have been made :(((((
#my manager asked if i wanted to cover a shift today#and i said sure! not like i’m doing anything anyway#but apparently yesterday they were so busy that no one got a break#which i’m not worried about the no break thing#bc i’m a minor and there’s a state law saying that they legally have to give me a break#i’m just stressed abt what that means for when i’m not on break#bc it’s saturday that means that we’re going to be more busy bc ppl don’t have work#which also means i’ll have to stay later bc we won’t have time to do any of the other things that we’re supposed to do#and it means that i’ll be on my feet for abt 5 and a half hours on my shitty knees ;~;#also#i GUARANTEE that someone will come right at close#bc ppl where i live are entitled fucks who don’t care abt workers#and we can’t turn them away bc of stupid company policy#‘we say that we close at nine but you should stay open until 9:05 in case someone’s watch is off!’#idgaf that’s a them problem#i am closing the goddamn door at 9:00 sharp anyone who wants to come after that can get fucked#sorry for the vent. i just really fucking hate my job#k.txt#vent tw

for real if you work an average day job that requires you to wake up at a standard time in the morning i highly recommend getting rid of your blackout curtains, or at least giving it a try for a couple of weeks to see how you feel. the sun is a vital part of your body’s sleep/wake cycle and dark curtains block you from getting the benefits of that so they can make you feel way more tired and groggy in the morning. use an eye mask if you need total darkness to fall asleep. doing this absolutely changed my life.
#i no longer accidentally sleep for 12-14 hours at a time and lose half my day#obviously this doesn’t apply if you work a night shift of any kind. but if you work anything close to a 9-5? game changer.#it’s so effective i even got a light-based alarm clock for the winter months because i’m so reliant on that morning light to help me wake up#it was just a cheap little $20 and the built-in sounds are terrible but it does the job

Work break laws in the uk need an update I think
#idk it just feels bad that i'm doing 9 hours of work today and only get 30 minutes of break time#but the minimum you are legally required to give is 20 minutes regardless of how long your shift is#when i'm doing an open to close shift i would like a bit of a longer break personally
