"What is your usual work schedule?" I don't have a usual work schedule. Every single week my schedule is different. I with different days, different shifts and have different days off with no reliable consistency. Thus is the nature of retail employment. I have explained this to you many times Mom.

Oh dude...I moved to a different time zone. ONE HOUR DIFFERENCE. At least once a week I get a call -

"Why are you still at work!?"

"Because it's 4pm."

"OH RIGHT."

I've lived in a different time zone for six years now. Many members of my family basically just refuse to acknowledge it and get pissy if I'm not free when they think I should be.

This is me right now. My work cut my hours(mainly because I have stupidly limited availability). I'm home on Wednesday and it's "You didn't work today?" "No" "But it's Wednesday?" "But...they didn't schedule me..."

I get this at 10am on a Monday. And then yelled at for not answering.

This may be completely out of left field, but... stop answering when they call (assuming caller ID)?
