1/17/2024 0 Comments Daywalkers e11evenTwo years later, Ray was fronting up a company (Talentbanq) promoting live performances by unsigned artists. Just waiting for that opening, whenever it may be.I first met Ray Jones about three years ago at a Time Out gig Mollie Marriott was playing. In their mind “but you’re home all day long, it should be easy to go to anything at anytime of the day.”ĮDIT: like you, graveyard is where the new people go. Daywalkers don’t get it, so I don’t even try anymore. Or if I go to a late afternoon appointment it would be like them waking up at 3 am, going to their appointment, and then going to work right after and working a full day. I’ve tried explaining to daywalkers that me staying up for a morning appointment is the same as them staying up until midnight for an appointment, and still going to work at the normal time the next morning. I either go to one at the earliest opening they have and force myself to stay awake until the appointment, or set an alarm and wake up too early for a a later appointment. Appointments for anything are a pain in the ass. I’m Sun through Thurs and while I have 2 nights off, I only have one actual day of the week I don’t work. Haha, that entire preface paragraph portion could have been written by me. If anyone’s interested and bored I’d like to see and read about the most out of touch things dayshifters/retirees have ever said or done to you because this one just takes the cake. Why would she think I would want to work for the police?Įdit: just for context, I simply texted her saying I no longer support the police (and why) and that I appreciated her showing support in my career and that I’ve got it handled for now, lol. It’s 40 minutes away from where I work! What does she think I’m going to do drive over there after work when I’m normally sleeping and volunteer all day? Have no goddamn days off? I just have no words. Contacting this guy on my schedule would be impossible enough, but just throwing another job into the mix of this fucked up nightshift life would literally be impossible. I work full time and literally left my old job because of the mandatory overtime. He will call you”.įirstly we’re a skeleton crew at my job and have an ENDLESS amount of overtime to work if we want it. Don’t worry it says talk about insurance, just select and schedule call. Let me know what time you set and I will tell him. (This text was after I already said fuck no ->) “You can go to appointments with Frank and set a time at your convenience to talk. It could be some extra money and keep your skills up. My moms text said: “My friend Frank wants to know if you are interested in a reserve officer position in (I currently work 15 minutes south of where I live so what the fuck). Like, let’s just say if this guy was legit I would have been working for him already. He’s one of those guys who is impossible to get ahold of or a straight answer from. I wanted to see if I could be a firearms instructor for him. sįast forward to today and I get a text from my mom regarding one of her friends that I was already in touch with when trying to get a job after college. I never want to be associated with the police ever again, so I’m currently navigating a possible career in security. In the process with 27 departments all over my state and I couldn’t find a job. Long story short I was completely fucked out of my career. If you messed up one thing, your ass was out of there. Huge pain in the ass four year bachelors degree program with a one year academy absolutely busting my ass because nothing is good enough for the police. My background is in Law Enforcement as that’s what I went to school for. I can’t really find a better job, and the last thing I do is trust my own judgment after everything I’ve dealt with. Anyway, as time goes on I realize what a huge mistake it was to agree to working this shift- however it’s a sunken cost fallacy now and I need to see it through to get to days. Definitely will quit before I ever get back on this shit. Also getting promoted to supervisor means you’re back on grave shift. One guy waited 5 years to get onto first shift. There’s a new building for our company coming up in spring 2024, and that was my ticket to get into first shift a lot faster than I would’ve, had I just been hired like normal. I never wanted grave shift, but I needed this job and you have to start out on grave shift. I don’t see my family/friends and I am miserable, as I’m constantly disappointing people by having to set my boundaries so I can get some sleep and maybe some sanity if I’m lucky. It’s impossible to get anything done unless I sacrifice my sleep. I come home Wednesday mornings and go back in Friday nights. The shift is so shitty that two nights off is really only one day off. It’s a 5 days a week, 8 hours per shift gig. I’ve been on this shift for almost a year now. To preface: I work nightshift of course, as you all may assume. I just wanna share about a little text my mom sent me today.
