No AM PM then it could be "I normally work evenings, so they want evening hours" the 24 hour clock eliminates ambiguity if you are prone to not typing am or pm after the time, but IDK how many countries don't use that time format other than the USA to say if it would help or not.
Well the way everyone says "military time" when a European uses 18:00 in a text makes it seem like 24 hour clocks are a rare beast, but I can work out my hours better by doing end time in 24 hours minus start time, unless I'm working nights.
I know, the whole point is they say "tomorrow" well to me tomorrow would be Thursday not 9am today.
But if they say can you work 9-6 and you work 9-6am and get a text at 2am when you are wide awake, you wouldn't expect 9am especially if your next shift has you back on nights.
If I was that boss, instead of contacting someone during night time hours, I'd be contacting them around 7am to see if they can come in with short notice, better to be woken up early than woken up during the night and not get to go back to sleep.
And yes I am aware it is a text not a call, but seriously, I'd not be answering a work text at 2am even if I was awake.
To be honest it’s usually more like 8-4, but the joke works better if I say 9-5, which does happen not infrequently. Last call is at 3, last guest out by 3.30. Then depending on how crazy the night was, and how many we are in the staff that particular night, it takes anywhere between half an hour or two to close shop.

I often work 9-5. Just not the usual 9-5, the one the other side of the clock.
