Clopen

When you work in a retail/restaurant environment and you are scheduled to close up shop around 10-12 at night, and then are also expected to come back and work an opening shift the next day around 6-8. This usually only allows for a person to sleep 3-5 hours in between shifts because they still have to take the time to travel home, wind-down, eat and/or feed your children, and/or significant other (if pets are involved, they need to be fed also and possibly walked), maybe laundry, shower, sleep and eat, shower and travel back...It's like they never leave and also can cause severe pain in the feet, legs, hips, back and brain.

Worker 1: "Today was so s***ty! I can't wait to get outta here and go to this f**k'n party! You down?"

Worker 2: "Can't dude, got a clopen....."

Worker 1: "F****************CK" :/

Clopen

When working in the bar industry you have to close in the evening and re open in the morning.

You get out of work after a night shift, leaving the bar at 3- 4am in the morning, having to be back at the bar again the next day to open. Good old clopen.

Clopen

To close and then open the following shift. More severe on the weekends due to the later close. Typically involves complete sleep deprivation and a certain punchy giddiness that may or may not wear off during the course of the shift.

The redhead was scheduled to clopen for the fourth time in a week and she was a hot mess.
