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.

Same thing with weekend workers. It's only due to accelerating conditions that I can finally do some praxis on weekdays.

I am a cook so yeah, I do both.

I'm glad I finally do just one of the two. It seems a needless cruelty on a worker, imo. My spry years were spent doing a lot of solitary stuff because of all my weekend nights being spent cramming food in peoples' holes.

I did catering and had weekends off when I was younger and am sick of punks and punk shows and dunno what else to do on weekends now so it's fine and I'm a natural extreme night owl. 5am to 1pm sleep is my favorite schedule. But there's no where to go.

I focus on weekends for the significant pay increase, but yeah socialising doesn't super work with people who have a normal job. I was asked the next time I have a free weekend and its like.. never? When I change jobs?

Plus side is 3-4 days a week covers all of my living expenses because weekends pay a ton.
