Our first apartment as newly-weds was near a GM plant. If I stopped at the liquor store on Friday night, there was a line. The store owner would cash pay checks, so the workers would stop on their way home, cash their checks, and pick up a case of beer and a fifth of Jack.

IIRC, in our town it was more like 10-4, so 6 hours, but also falling completely within the time most were at work, except the poor bastards who worked 7-3.

As part of our merger we went from bi-weekly to 2x monthly. Doesn't really make much of a difference to me either way. More fun is that my health ins went up by 200 a paycheck as a result of our crappy new CDHP vs the incredibly cheap high deductible plan I had before.

This is why I say a small amount and I'm drawing a distinction between hunger and cravings. IIRC, it's something like 14 almonds is a half serving and 80-90 calories (I like the Blue Diamond Bold Almonds, either a spicy variety or the sea salt & vinegar). The problem with an unsatisfying snacks (like carrots, for me), is that they do nothing for the underlying cravings and there's a good chance that the snacking will continue until the scratch is finally itched, and often results in higher calorie consumption.

Every Fall and Spring, I make up an Excel worksheet, copying the sunrise and sunset times, then adding columns where I either add (morning) or subtract (evening) 2 1/2 hours, so I can tell how early I could expect to start work if I were on the road at dawn, or how early I'd have to LEAVE work to ride after work and before dark.
Of course, now with COVID and WFH, the hours are much more flexible.
