Yeah, I had the same experience when I worked at Kohl’s. I came home from a rough night shift, dreamed I was working another shift, and woke up to go into a morning shift. I nearly had a sobbing breakdown when I awoke, going, “Dear, god, make it stop!”
Is that a reference to the movie Groundhog Day?
“What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?”
“That about sums it up for me.”
And Groundhog Day was based on the short film 12:01 PM, where Kurtwood Smith is forced to repeat the same lunch hour, and doesn’t ever get to escape the time bounce.
I would love to experience a “Groundhog’s Day” type phenomena. All the time in the world to develop skills, with plenty of opportunities for release/taking a break, and no chance of aging or consequences until you get it right. An awesome time to get your sh!t together, and; ultimately, win the love of your life (although Andy McDowell may be easy on the eyes, her acting leaves a lot to be desired, I would like to substitute Sandra Bullock, please.)

Clearly, he needs to switch to a stronger coffee. *nods, nods*

Yes.

Which is in turn based on the short story ’12:01 P.M.’ by Richard A. Lupoff, who tried to sue Colombia Pictures for plagiarism.

The part where you go mad trying anything and everything to escape the timeloop once you get sick of it isn’t so fun, but that’s a price I’d pay.
I prefer the melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya as reference for time lops
Use tour cattle prod on him, Keith. That surely would spark his day.
It’s just a jum to the left…
Sounds like working in a call center.
Alternate theory: You are in hell, and your ironic punishment is reliving the same day for eternity.
Evidence to back this up: KEITH IS YOUR BOSS.
HAHAHAHAhahahaahaaa……..ha………..ha…….hah….
Thats pretty much my job. -.-
This comic seems so very relevant in mid-2020; just change “job” to either “lockdown” or “pandemic”.
At least with a time loop there is an exuse.
