I’m(22f) working my first 8-5 and it’s completely miserable

I(22f) took some time off school since I wanted to save up money and not be uncomfortably broke.

I sometimes get breaks. My supervisor keeps me 15-30 minutes late each day, the people who also do my job leave on the dot at 5. I’m significantly younger than all of them, no one my age. Many of the type who get all their enjoyment in life from decorating the office. My supervisor asked me how early i can come…

Many of the type who get all their enjoyment in life from decorating the office. My supervisor asked me how early i can come in tomorrow. I said 8, like usual. There is no way i’m coming in earlier, I am not a morning person. I’ve been working a pt retail job too up until this week. I want to find the sturdiest tree i can find and hang myself. How do people do this? Also, why did I grow up hearing 9-5? it’s 7:30-6 in actuality with commute. All I want is to play music and make coffee and live in a walkable community with time for hobbies while not being seen as a bum.
