Ask if you can change your hours. If they say no look for another job.

 It depends on what you signed in your contract, if you were taken on specifically for those hours and they have no other hours available then there is not a lot you can do. So the only thing to do is ask the boss if you can change your hours or find out if anyone wants to swap from mornings to evenings. Or you could look for another job elsewhere doing the hours you want to. Good luck x

 what is stopping you from working full time? kids? well speak to your supervisor explaining that family commitments (or something else that is vague, important sounding and would seem rude to question) mean that you need to switch to a daytime shift and ask what are the available options.
full time work may be tiring but you might find it easier to get the day hours working full time. but ask, ask, ask or you will never find out...
