Gotta love it when they do that. I work a lot of splits nowadays since I'm the main driver at my job, but at least the hours aren't too late. Like tomorrow I work a 10am-2pm and a 4pm-11:30pm. I do this 5-6 days a week. I don't get an official break during my shifts other than the 2 hours off between shifts, but the time I spend driving makes it not so bad. It works.

I worked at a PetSmart a few years ago as a stocker/pet care specialist. My schedule was usually splits as well, but the hours sucked. Most days I started work at 3am and worked til 4pm stocking. Then I usually got an hour off and worked til closing as pet care, which meant I usually got out around 11:45pm. Then I got to start all over the next day. I lived on coffee and rockstar energy drinks. I'll tell you one thing, though, I cherished my days off!
