Thought this would be an interesting poll, Had a similar discussion with some other guys I work with today about it and thought I bring it up here. Question is simple, what is the most hours you have ever worked?

Recently with the fortunate/ unfortunate flood of work I've had, I topped the longest day I have yet to work at 18 hours, and another just a few weeks ago at 14.5 hours. Both these days were horrible events I wish I could erase from my memory smile.gif

I've done a 21 hour day a couple of weeks ago, which was pretty rough. There was an hour break however... big whoop blink.gif I work as a mover, so sometimes the days can be pretty long. Sometimes we work three days straight, and only sleep a few hours in the truck. But thats only on long distance jobs, and I stopped doing those... because it cuts into my guitar time cool.gif

For me the maximum was 14 hours a few years ago but I have to admit that thes days I rarely do less then 12 hours per day. That cuts ony guitar practicing time.

I mainly work for GMC at the time. It occured a few times that some of the guys I work with sent their stuff too late so I had to work around 16-18 hours to finish everything on time. It sucks big time, so I had to rearrange a lots of things.

The day I was viva'ed for my PhD -

Went in to work at 7am to prepare for it at 2pm. Started teaching at 9, and taught without a break until the viva. Viva lasted til 3:40 and by the time I left the room it was 3:50. 10 mins for lunch then back to teaching 4-6pm. Had a 10 minute break then teaching again 6-9pm.

I then went home, had a very quick dinner and then had to prepare lectures for the next day and also started revising a research paper 10pm- 2am. 2am went to bed but had to be back in for 9am. So essentially with a few small breaks it was a full on day from 7am to 2am the next day.

Your poll doesn't go high enough.

We crash through a few days without sleep somewhat often in my line of work and you really do stop counting somewhere between 24 and 30 hours.

Sometimes when I have a deadline I find myself working 2-3 days (and nights) all day long with just a few brakes....

15 years ago, it wasn't unusual to be stuck doing 36 hour shifts. Sometimes you got a nap, but mostly not. Thank God, that's over with.

Not sure at all, I sometimes work all day and night, specially in the summer. If I count in the breaks during the day it would be somewhere around 20, not sure..

My personal record is 16.5 hours. I work at the restaurant as a chef.
I woke up 06.30, took a train and work started at 08.30 and I got off 01.00. Took a train and I was home 02.30. blink.gif

Thank God I don't do those any more and I work at nicer place.

My days are normally 8 hrs but I usually work a fair amount of OT. I've had a ton of 12,16, and 18 hr days but my record is close to almost 48 hrs straight... well maybe had one or two power naps but didn't go home. Not an experience I want to repeat...

my longest period working was a crazy time..

117 hours a week (including weekends of course).. for 3 weeks straight.. just working.. then count in the 3 hours of transport everyday as well. That does not give me lots of time to sleep..


However, i cannot stress enough.. DO NOT TO DO THIS EVER!!! I learned the hard way.. tongue.gif

edit: oh yeah.. forgot to mention that the longest stretch of work during this period was 39 hours (of course i never made it home that day. LOL!)

Hmm does sleep count as a break? If not I'd say two weeks is probably my highest score (kills your back!).
