Hey, at least you have a job, which is more than some of us can say. But I know, it can be a pain. I remember when I was working nights and I always had to cut out of parties early, and people never seemed to understand that it was just as important for me to be on time for my night job as it was for them to be on time for their day jobs. They would say, "Can't you be just a little late? We're not done yet here." That became frustrating.

@TeresaRudolph71 when ibwork shift there is no going to anything. There is only time for work and then sleep. My shifts are 14+ hours - 3 in a row.

@Barelygettingby Oh, that sounds kind of icky. Sorry to hear that. It must almost feel like work is your whole life during those three days. 😓

@TeresaRudolph71 Friends understand. Acquaintances can get a bit too demanding. If you had to leave extra early, because you had no car and we're going by bus, a good friend would leave early with you, and drive you to work, and return to the party later.

@Serenitree I agree. It was actually a friendly acquaintance, who had given me a ride to the party, who wanted to stay and talk to some guys, who also wanted me to stay there with her and give her moral support because she was a little nervous. So I ended up going to work by bus because she didn't want to leave, after listening to her complain about me leaving her alone to meet guys on her own. I think I ended up being a few minutes late to work, but I managed to keep my job. But yeah, that was frustrating. 🙄

@TeresaRudolph71 I understand. I've had "friends" like that. Briefly.
