I started working at a fast food place like three weeks ago, and they've been having me work mornings and afternoons only, and now suddenly I have two night shifts this week! The first one is tonight! From 7 to midnight! That's way past my bedtime! I'm an old man! I can't be staying out late and working like that! My back!

I have no problem working late in the evening. I am a night owl.

I like to be a morning person when I have the opportunity. Usually I get up around 6am.
And then they put me back on late morning shifts after the night shifts, so I'm gonna be all screwed up pfff

@Panda: Yooooooo that's the way to do it!
I'm debating if I should go find another job or just stay with this one. I'll be moving away in June anyway and I suppose it's good to learn skills and get references that'll help me later. But lord I don't enjoy it and the job market is really hard out here. I don't mind working in service/food and it kinda makes me want to try being a waiter or something at a sit down restaurant. Nothing fancy, just like a Denny's or a diner or something. That way you get tips too.

Night shifts with no warning can be rough.
Best of luck.

Bleh, that sucks. Working one or the other is tolerable, but having to constantly jerk your schedule back and forth is rough. Hopefully it doesn't become an increasingly common occurrence.

I managed to sneak in a nap so it wasn't terrible. And someone in the drive thru tipped me a couple of bucks, which I donated to the site to get a crate
So that's cool.

Update: oh right, I'm an insomniac with a household who gets up at 6. So now I'll wake with 3 hours of sleep, have to go to work in 3 hours, not sure if I should try to force a nap or call out while I can. guess I'll die.
