I'll bite.
Hate to be the bearer of potentially bad news, but if it's group-based RP you're looking for, and the group you're in runs when you're not available... It might be time to look for a new group. Of course, that's the nuclear option.
It can be hard to strike up and find anything meaningful or fun with "randoms." Any given night in the <local hub> can provide you with roleplay, but that's not crunchy enough all the time, right? It's bar talk. It's chatter. It's talking about the big things, but not the big things themselves. If you want an arc, you're not liable to find it milling around and discussing things over drinks.
So, what's the solution? I don't know! If it is a character arc you're looking for, you can always try to build it yourself, but that still comes down to solo writing. You could kick off a thread on the forums here and look for people to run along with. It's something I tend to do when I've got the itch to roleplay but don't have the means/time/group to do so. My first experience with the RPC here was a long (long, long) series of solo-posts that ended up being accompanied by others wishing to join.
It's going to sound selfish, and I suppose it is, really, but if you're not looking out for your needs or wants, you can't expect anyone else to. An already-churning FC storyline tends to not wait for many, so your options are limited, doubly-so because you're legitimately at work during those windows. Ask them if it's possible to move times? Ask them if there's anyone around for off-hours catch-up or sideplot?
