Working in the Cannabis Industry is interesting.

I thought everyone (as in customers) would be so mellow and then I remember that if it’s too good to be true it usually is.  Sometimes I feel like I work at a 7-11 for weed.  It’s not like that all the time but I’d say about 1/2 the time it is.  Dispensaries are new and most of the management and staff are fairly young.  The one I work for is open 7 days a week, we’re open from around 7 till midnight and my schedule is different every day of every week.  The last job I had I worked from home.  The one before that I worked M-F, 8:30-5. I knew my schedule weeks beforehand because it was the same every day unless something else had been planned, days or weeks in advance.  At my current job, I get my work schedule the day before the week starts.  So the work week starts Sunday, I get the work schedule after 12 pm on Saturday.  It is a source of major frustration for me. So each week I have no idea what the next week is.  I feel like I am on call because it’s not the same each week. At least for me. For other people it is.  I have put my request in for what I would like and was told it would be accommodated as best as they could.  One guy has weekends off! He’s the only one and hasn’t been there as long as me.  It’s starting to affect my health.  I don’t have a routine. I can’t get on a regular sleep schedule.  I don’t want to be a bummer because I am always bitching. I just drained myself of writing any more about it for now.
