The majority of the working class is in the service industry in the imperial core and thst means we service 9-5 workers and cause I’m busy at work doing that evenings and weekends, I can’t go a meeting. Going to a fucking DIY show is a ticket master expense in lost wages. My 6pm is midnight and that’s true for a shitload of people who represent the current working class. It’s enough of a pain in my ass I’ve gotta run my errands before work. I can’t be heard cause I’ve gotta work whenever the floor is open.

    honestly is a good idea.

    my last good job was one that always ended around midnight, give or take (being a prep cook and dish washer meant i was among the last to leave)

    I also used to do 10p-6a at a gas station in the Before Times, and I hated every minute of it. My sleep hours were where other people were awake. I had nothing to do when I was awake off work. I just slept, and ate, and did laundry and necessity work at home, then i’d go to work.

    I know there are folks eating that shit every night ready to do something about it, and they’ve got no options because if you ever wanna tell a 10p-6a worker to just wake up and do daylight/evening shit, you’re gonna get screamed at.

      i worked 3rd shift at an ISP many many years ago… while i learned a ton because I had so much time to dig into stuff, i was an absolute wreck otherwise… my life was about either sleeping or socializing if i wasn’t working, but never getting to do both
