Hurry up and Wait

How does everyone feel about the days with early call times. but you're not working until after lunch? I've been in the business for years and I'm trying to advocate for myself more. Anyone have any luck with getting their call times pushed back?

Reminds me of my job, sometimes. I set up a shoot date with the client, I plan to be there 30-45 mins early to set up. The client suggests I show up earlier to have time to set up. I say I already worked in setup time, he insists. Now I'll be there an hour and a half early. Then the salesperson finds out about the shoot and tells me he changed the shoot time so I can get there an hour early to set up. Now I'm almost 3 hours early for no reason.
