"What would you do in this situation?"

Got a job a TK Maxx working in the warehouse and started yesterday. The shift is 6.00am - 2.00 pm and 2pm - 10pm. I was put on the morning shift and because there is no buses running that early in that area I have to go on bike which takes 30-40 minutes.

Getting there was alright, but after working in the warehouse and coming back home, it really tired me out.

I decided to phone them up this morning to explain the situation that I didn't want the job as it was too far on bike and was too tiring when I got back home.

My shift manager then said she'll ask HR Manager if I can work permanent afternoon, so I can get the bus.

But thinking about it, I don'treally want to as it's a dead mans shift not being able to do much in the morning knowing you got work in the afternoon, and at night not being able to do anything.

Now I don't know what to say when she rings back later, as I should of told her that when I phoned up earlier.

What would you say?

Get a better job.

Decided to pack it in all together as had a phone call from another application I sent for an interview Friday. It's only 5 minutes away.

There were some buses on before 6.00, but there weren't any going from Wednesbury to Bloxwich.

Cheers anyway guys for the advice.

I would have said put up with the cycling for a month, then when you have some money, get a minicab. Usually if you're a regular you can get a discount.

But it's too late now anyway, so... enjoy your new job! :-)
