Whats the longest shift you have ever worked?

[Paalikles]

15 hours @ a men's wear retailer in 2001*

16 hours @ a meat processing plant in 2002





*This store normally stayed open between 9 and 16 each day. This particular day I worked from 9-24 because of a special sale. It was a very nice experience. I sold a lot of suits...

08:30 to 1:30 when we changed to the Euro and all software had to be updated.

This was 24 december in 2001. Some Xmas-evening

I think it was 14 hours, at a construction site.

 

[Sophie 378]

At a job, 8.30 - 5.30 (nine hours).
Lectures, assignments and studying, 33 hours. I went to a 9am lecture on one day, stayed in the library all day and all night working on essays until 9am the next day, when I went to another lecture, went back to the library to work some more, stayed there until my 5pm lecture, went home at 6pm.
Oh yes, at school once, I got up at 7.30 to go to classes, spent all day in school, spent all night doing homework, spent the next whole day in school, the whole night doing homework again, school again, got home at 5pm and slept until Saturday afternoon. About 57 hours, followed by ~18 hours sleep. I had breaks for food and travel and so on during that one, though.
