This week I worked six days in a row of eight hour shifts. Two jobs. Bewildered. Forgive me, I'm young--but now I understand why people are cranky all the time and never get anything done. They're too busy being exhausted. 
 
Let's all try to live like children. Let's all get our lives back.

its a website. about shitty jobs

Where do you work?

Well, Blockbuster is going under so I guess the choice is made for you.

Vive la Révolution! 

I think the question here is do you need two jobs? 
Totally know where you come from tho, I used to have a  8 to 6 job for 2 years and I was fucking broken when I got home.
Factor in a boyfriend, videogaming, a WoW addiction and a need for solitude. 
 
Ain't no rest for the wicked!

@Jeust: Hear, hear! Instructions. "

@HS21:    Blockbuster Canada, and a lovely Bakery. The bakery job is new and terribly stressful. The Blockbuster job is slack, but soul-sucking. "Why didn't you sell?" Because he didn't need it. He could buy a book a book or maybe some vegetables with that money. Or a loaf of bread from the bakery. The bakery where I spent all day trying not to throw bread everywhere. I'm not really complaining, I'm just tired right now. And I see it as a problem. I can deal with it. But should I have to? "

Try working 7 days in a row 12-16 hour shifts......

Last job I had was working outbound at a call center trying to sell insurance for Sears and HBC cards.  The job wasn't so much bad, as it was just monotonously tedious and boring. Where most jobs you can space out for the majority of the time, with this job you have to keep thinking because you got to use the sales pitch. I was always in the top 3 sellers for every night, the management loved me, but I could only stand it for 6 months before I had to go.
 
The job was mentally exhausting, and when you combine that with getting off work at midnight followed by an hour drive home it was not fun. I was always so tired that I would crawl into bed as soon as I got home, around 1:00am-1:20am depending on the weather, and would always wake up an hour or two before it was time to go to work the following afternoon around 3:00 pm. I literally had zero life outside of that job for 6 months because if I was not at work I was sleep or driving to/from it.
 
I miss the money, but fuck the job. Also, one night near the end of it all I was so tired coming home that the RCMP pulled me over because they thought I was driving drunk.  I just explained to them that I was getting off work and was half way through a long drive home so I kept nodding off. Since they didn't smell any booze on me they just let me go. Atleast I got an amusing story out of it I guess.

 The hard part is adjusting life to your own needs and what the world expects of you I suppose.    

Sounds really tough, best of luck paying off your debts.

  We do what we will when we do.    

Be lucky you aren't a factory worker.
 
I work regular hours, but goddamn, I wanna crash when I get home.

Yup. Two of my fellow bartenders got fired and quit one week, and I had to pick up all of their shifts, which meant 10-11 double shifts for 9 days in a row. I mean, sure I made $1500 bucks, but I wanted to kill myself, and a dozen other people.   Now I am delightfully unemployed, engaged to my cute little sugar momma, and finishing my degree. "

" That's tough: you're allowed to crash extra hard this weekend.  
 
I feel like people work too much these days. "
