I don't have a paid job at the moment but does voluntary work count? lol

I volunteer at a charity shop 3 days a week, I mainly work in the office doing the administration but will also help out in the shop or help doing pick ups & deliveries as well.
I usually start between 8.30am - 9.00 & it all depends on how busy we are as to what time I get home, sometimes if we are quite or my boss sees that I'm getting tired he'll drive me home about 3:00pm but other times it's 4:00pm - 5:00pm.
When I'm volunteering at the charity shop I am usually up by 6.30am, the charity shop I am at is in the next town which is only a 5 min drive but I love to walk there which takes me about 45 mins so will leave home between 7:30am - 8:00am.
If it's bad weather my boss will pick me up & he usually drives me home.

I also volunteer at a nursing home one morning a week to do exercises with some of the residents & I also visit one of the residents. When i go to the nursing home I usually get there by 9.15am & am there for about an hour.

I have trouble sleeping in, even when I don't have any plans for the day I am still up by 7.30am. Gone are the days where I was able to sleep in until 11:00am :roflmao:

My previous reply to this seems quite easy going compared to now! I usually have to get up at 5am to get to work for 7. Quite often i have two shifts in one day, so i'll get home, have a nap then go to the second place. Come back at 9-10pm, crash out, rinse and repeat for the next day lol.
 
I get up as late as humanly possible in order to get to work by 8:00 (which means I'm usually 10-15 minutes late. lol). So I get up at 7, laze around in bed until 7:10-7:15, and then leave the house by 7:30-7:45.
My work day ends at 4:45.
 
I work 3 -4 days a week. Usually it is a 1pm - 8pm shift but on sats. it is 9 - 4.
I do feel really lucky to have a job though, that's for sure!
I do have to get up early with the kids though and get them off to school or daycare.
So the wee a.m. hours are not a stranger to me.
 
if i want to be at work for 9 then i have to be up at 6:15, and when i'm helping to close i wont get home until about 7:45.
