    Braaaaaains SOMEONE JUST PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY NOW

    I just finished a sixteen hour work shift.

    Sixteen. Hours. At. Work.

    It came hot on the heels of an eleven hour work shift with just seven hours inbetween.

    Talk about times you have had to do the WORST THING EVER for an excruciating amount of time.

    Working seven days a week for three weeks in a row not and not getting paid overtime because your boss scandalously dispersed your forty hours throughout those the seven days of the week is the worst thing ever. I also used to work two jobs that totaled a minimum of 14.5 hours a day and got one day off a week, so that was pretty terrible, too.

    Sixteen hours sucks, though, man

    I take things out of boxes and put them on shelves. I also walk around a lot. My feet are about to fall off.

    You and I have the opposite jobs. I take things off shelves and put them in boxes. Also I'm in charge of the Plemons. Yeah, standing up and walking around for a long time does that. I suppose you are on concrete as well?

    I once worked a 12 hour shift in a pro shop at a ice arena many years ago. There was no real work in terms of a physical sense, but it was mind numbingly boring because it was a very slow day.

    I ended up being so slackeriffic at that job that I brought in a PlayStation with a screen attached to it. I beat most of a playthrough of FFIX while working. No one ever found out.

    I'm about to be doing 10 - 14 hours a day, but it'll be something engaging and challenging. Plus, I'll enjoy it. So whilst I can sympathise, I cannot imagine how troutty it must be to work a job like that for that long. xD

    Poor Pike.

    I used to pull 11 hour evening shifts (more like afternoon until 1am) on a regular basis when I was working at a call center. Now I won't try to belittle how rough working 11 hours one day then 16 hours only 7 hours later is, but if someone came to me now and made me choose between the two, I'd probably take your job Pike.

    Who needs feet? I just never want to have to deal with people who hate my guts over the phone again. I've actually had something of a phobia about phones ever since. I absolutely hate calling people I don't know for work because I'm literally afraid they'll be half as bad as the people I used to deal with.

    For five months I worked 10 hour days without a day off between two jobs.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Pike, I thought you had another moth attack.

    The worst thing I had to do for awful amount of time has probably been suppressed. Eventually I will explode with all the suppressing I do

    I used to work two hours overtime a day at my current job and then work Saturday.

    Then I stopped giving a trout. Like the work I do? Pay me more.

    There was a couple week period at an old job where I worked ~10 hour days. It wasn't too bad, though, because I got lots of overtime.

    The worst was probably not work related, during my second year of law school. There was one week where I only got about 3-4 hours of sleep for several days in a row while working on several different big things (on top of classes). That was truly the week from hell.

    Last week I worked a thirteen followed by a twelve with four hours of sleep in between. I worked six hours the day after that with another four hours of sleep, but by then my body was too numb to notice the waves of fatigue washing over it.
