I’m actually kind of sad about it. It’s work I genuinely enjoy for the most part but the hours have gotten ridiculous. Next week I’m scheduled for three 14 hour days in a row, and we’re expected not to eat on shift (we don’t get breaks).
When I first started the hours were more manageable – maybe a 14 hour shift once a week and the rest of the time, 7 or 8 hours. My problem is that if I finish at 10pm and start at 8 the next morning, I’ve got to get up at 6:30, which means I can’t spend time cooking, showering or doing anything for myself after work unless I want to be exhausted the next morning… and then I have to rinse and repeat the entire thing. I’m still upset about leaving though.
