Thats an insane number and your body can't sustain it. Every study that looks at doctors that pull those kinds of shifts show they make way more mistakes towards the end of it.

All these topics about your job - you must really love it.
I just embarrassed myself in front of Corporate and now I fear for my job.
One of my co-workers just got fired today by Corporate no real reason at all.
Things are finally looking up at work!
Management gaf-new associate refuses to do what I ask him to do.
Don't you love new managers who treat people as equals?
Gaf, my co-worker almost got me fired yesterday.
Why is it when one becomes a manager they automatically become a jackass?
Co-worker told me today he would rape a girl if she was hot.
management-gaf: I have to interview someone tomorrow. Advice please...
If I'm off the clock that means I can't help you ma'am. I'm not making excuses.

Stop wearing your sisters panties. The time might go by more quickly.
I've worked upwards to 18 hours (eating at the desk too). Sometimes its needed, and yes sometimes I am dead in the water, but someone's gotta do it. If the pay is good, if the prospects are as good, then of course.
Just don't get used to it, I've taken a small break from those all-day workfests but when I did them 6 days a week I was destroying myself, now I slowed down a bit because it was affecting me physically and mentally.

The worst thing is...I still didn't finish my projects because again the store seems fit to not give me any help. Well, when I come back tomorrow they're going to ask "why did you work so long?", and I'll tell them straight up that they can not reasonably expect a person to get that much work done in that little time.
Nope.
Nope.

They might be cruel but, they aren't that cruel. They'll just say "we understand" and leave it at that.

The best part is when you can't even sleep because your brain is overstimulated and you have minor hallucinations that you're still at work while trying to fall asleep.

-shrugs-. I don't make a topic every day and it's been a while but, I wasn't aware I was doing anything wrong by ranting about my job. I make topics because OT is my home. Is that wrong of me? If you don't like it then tough shit. I'll keep making topics every few months.

I wasn't aware that I said you were doing anything wrong.

I spent a week in Georgia working at a marble mining plant, upgrading their equipment. After we worked for 14+ hours a day for the entire week, and ended up pulling an all nighter at the airport, I didn't complain once.
Why? Because that beautiful OT pay, and the fact that we did a good damn job.

At least he's making his own threads. Instead of forcing every topic to be about himself.
I have worked more hours than that in a single day but that is not a normal routine for me nor is that sustainable or something you could do everyday for an extended period of time.
You would not have any life outside of work unless you decided to give up sleeping and eating altogether.

FYI, search result links are user-specific, so for everybody else that link just leads to an error page.

There's hardly any work at my job. Just lazily killing 9 hours a day is also tiring if you must know.

This. I worked as an in house graphic designer at Yellow Pages and did 18 hour shifts regularly. Some days I would just go home to shower and come back to what would amount to a 40 hour work session. In the end they stopped paying for my extra hours and gave me what they felt was an adequate raise. I quit a year after that.

I sometimes have to work several 16+ hour days back t back. It is brutal. Thankfully my job will give me time off after a stretch like that.

On topic, I feel you op, some 12+ hour shifts in a hospital wrecked me good back then.
Terrius, you know that you also have a propensity to repeatedly state details of your personal life too? In fact, you typically do so in threads that are often loosely related to the details you are talking about.
