Depends on what shift I'm working. It's a front desk hotel job, so it's easy enough even when I'm busy.

I generally only work 3rd shift, which usually isn't very busy. Maybe an hour or so if still checking people in. Then I have to do the audit at 3am, so like 20-30 minutes of paperwork. Then I have to set out the breakfast and start checking people out at the end of my shift. So id estimate maybe 2-3 hours of actual work and the rest is just being available to the guests when they need something.

1st shift is a bit busier, and I've had to do lots of those recently. I have to check everyone out, answer the phone all day, clean the lobby, file more paperwork, make the housekeeper list and keep that updated, and deal with early check ins. Sounds like a lot, but it's not a whole lot worse than 3rd. Maybe 4-5 hours of work, most of which isn't super demanding or only takes a few moments to handle.

Second shift though, I can't deal with that very often. My manager is aware of my social anxiety so he keeps me off that shift if possible. But on busier nights, it's basically a solid non-stop line of people. The full 8 hours, usually starting at the end of 1st shift and bleeding into the start of 3rd.

Thankfully so far this year hasn't been super busy. We've only sold out a handful of times, so it's not as bad on each shift.
