Working a weird week

I work Thursday through Sunday normally, about to head in for a day of OT cause bills yo. Ahem, people often comment on my odd week. But I love it! I don't normally have to take off days to go to the doctor, and I can get things done because everything is open. The only downside is I am not free during people's normal go out with friends time, of which I have none, so that isn't a thing at the moment, and I miss festivals and garage sales. That part is a little sad, but eh, whatever.
What about you, do you work odd hours? Normal hours? If you could pick a shift what would it be? Why would you pick it?

@Jessicalynnt This is a reality, but in exchange you have the freedom to decide to skip a day if needed.

I have heard those who work for themselves work more than people who dont

If I had friends maybe, no friends, so no one to go out with.

I don't work currently, apart from being online. I did work 27 years at one place and worked nights for more of it.

Did you like working the night shift? Why or why not?

I miss going to things like that, but at same time, no fun alone.

Right now the job I have is so up and down with the hours. Last week I worked 42 hours, this week 27 hours, next week 16.5 hours, then who knows. I have been looking for another job as I can't keep going week by week hoping for decent hours. I don't mind the job, I work in a pet food store.

yeah, less headache and more just working. Plus less management being all, I need to throw my weight around because I am management!

My "official" schedule is 3pm to midnight Tuesday through Saturday. However it never works out that way and I am on salary so I don't really have much of a choice. For instance, on Tuesday I have a meeting at 11am and one at 1pm and am in for meetings early every day. I also end up working some on my days off as well. Sunday and Monday off are ok for me as it gives one weekend day and also one week day to take care of appointments, etc.
