when we pull into singapore thats usually a 50 to 55 hour day, maybe catch a power nap at lunch or dinner.

They must have long days in Singapore!

Nope

About 84 hours in a week is my max...and I've only done it once.  Usually 40-50.

80-90 a week if you count working full time while attending college.  That lasted for 8 years.

60 hours but it was in the snow, and uphill, both ways.

days get pretty long when your stuck in an engine room with no windows to look out.

I've hit a 90hr week before working as a swamper for a drilling company... good times... better paychecks.

Now I get paid the same regardless of how long I'm at work.

65 Hrs. in the gulf during summer rebuilding a Diesel Main Propulsion Engine (12V71 Detroit) after it decided to eat a few exhaust valves and spit out the corresponding cylinder liners/Pistons. The Ship that my Craft was Embarked upon pulled into Rhodes Greece right after my crew and I finished the repairs, We all celebrated completing the job with 6 hrs of drinking.

Don't you get paid to blow shit up at mach 1? Pretty sure I would do that for free, regardless of the hours.

That's one way Salvador Dali would get there.

Been there, done that. Art school was fun like that

I regularly put in 110 hour work weeks during my first year out of college in M&A. My refusal to start smoking and doing coke made it impossible to compete with my co-workers. A few months into it I actually fainted while waiting for a cab, got taken to the ER and my boss's only response was "it happens to all of us. you should ask your doctor for 'something.'" I decorated my cubicle with medical studies on the effects of sleep deprivation and frequently announced to my office at which hours I would be considered intoxicated or insane by playing "Brain Damage" loudly. Boss did not find it funny, many others did.

These days I put in, on average, 12 hour work days with some 20 and others just a couple, because I make my own schedule. Working long hours is a whole other ball game when you're working for yourself. I get to wear jeans, go to the gym half way through the day, do cool shit and tell any pretentious assholes that dare enter my work environment to make the beast with two backs off. Most importantly, I get to wake up after 10am most days and get to sleep in a few days a week
