The Most Hours You've Ever Worked

[lazylightnin717]

Title says it all. How many have you worked before you hit the floor?

Here is my record so far for one week. Just 40 minutes short of 100 hours 

(sorry for the IZ quality pic)



All this in the name of Celine Dion. The company had to feed employees all week long. We lived off pizza and cheese steaks. So if anybody plans on seeing Celine in Vegas, let me know how you liked it. It cost me some long weeks

When I worked as groom for a Morgan show barn in VT, we would put in 120+/wk at shows.

And it was salary.  They did house and feed us well though.

I'm hourly

It's quite ok by me.

Once, I was painting a stair unit for Radio City which is a fairly large staircase. I was using a 4" inch roller. When asked by a coworker why I was using that instead of a 9" roller, I proceeded to tell him that it was my hourly roller

90-110 was pretty routine during internship. Amazing how I still had energy to party 3 times per week. It was good to be 26 <sigh>

[Stinky Wizzleteats]

27 hours straight.

Don't know how much in a week, we don't have a time/punch clock and I have never used one.

I've done 30 something hours straight and then drove home but it was only an hour and a half drive back then so pretty weak stuff 
No clue as to amount worked in a week.
If I can count my commute though, I leave the house at 4:30 am daily and get home typically 7:30pm, 5 days a week for the last 11 years.

When I was on Capitol Hill in the late '80s/early '90s, 70-75 hour weeks were pretty normal, and ones way in excess of that weren't unusual. I never kept exact count, even though I was supposed to fill out a time sheet, because I was an "exempt" employee & therefore wasn't eligible for overtime, so what's the point?

Two or three times a year the House would stay in session overnight or for a few days, usually on budget bills, and since that was in my portfolio it meant sleeping at my desk -- or not, if I had to keep an eye on what was/wasn't happening on the floor.

Definitely one of those experiences that becomes more fun as it fades in the rear view mirror.

My best is 37 hours straight. I worked 3 months straight doing 12-20 hour days w/ no days off that culminated in a 37 hour straight push at the end. I worked 5 different jobsites between SW VA and Knoxville and covered 400+ miles of commuting.

I took 2 weeks off starting the next day. I made more $$ in those 3 months than I have in any other single year in my life, but I don't think I could make myself do it again. It was awful.
