    I could maybe swing it for a couple of weeks but I know it would do horrible things to my mental state.
    I can attest as to how tired you get doing this but I have to admit I never once found myself in work mentally lost. I was always sharp as a knife in work. When not working I was a wreck though.
    I'm pretty mentally sensitive and my social anxiety makes it difficult for me to be around customers for too long. Even 40 hours a week messes me up after a while.

    New job is being a pain in the ass with OT. They are like "oh you can stay later" and then when you do they're like "oh no don't our budget is tight." Wtf?

    I've been scheduled for 14 days in a row before but I believe I've work upwards of 20 because of people missing shifts and all that good stuff.

    If I don't have at least one day a week where I can just stay home in my pajamas, I start to go crazy. Once in a while I'll have nine days in a row of work, but that's not very often.
