I hate being late.

So occasionally as a cashier I get scheduled to close one night (3pm - 10:30pm) and open the next morning (6:45am - 3:15pm).

Last Friday I close... go home... go on the computer and watch tv with my roommate. Normal stuff to decompress from working.
About 1:15am I go to sleep.
7:10am my phone rings... it's work...
My manager (who had closed with me the night before): Did you oversleep?
Me: *facepalm* Yeah. I'll be in ASAP.

Turns out I had forgotten to turn on my alarms. Which are on my phone. And I only turn them on when I work an early shift. But as I was delirious the previous night I had forgotten... even after mentioning to my roommate that I needed to turn them on.

I make it by 7:30 as I live a roughly 7 minute walk from work. But I still felt so stupid.

Very unfortunate scheduling.

I hope you didn't get into too much trouble.

Schedules like that are brutal to say the least. I hope it doesn't happen often - that stuff can bring you down fast.

Yeah. And no. My manager is cool. He understood.

I usually have to do shifts like that a couple times a month max. It's really bad when you have to do it twice a week. And I have had to do that before. Blarg. Really bad.
