Longest week ever!

[PastryGal]

I just finished up earlier today the longest week I have ever worked. 66.75 hours from Monday to today. Still not sure how I made it. They were all starting at 6am. We normally start at 9am. On the upside there was a $100 bill in my card from the bosses. I do love my job! Now I think I'll sleep the next few days, lol! I hope everyone has a good Christmas!!!

The longest 'week' I ever had was 13 days straight, 10 to 12 hours a day at a family owned grocery store before and during our counties biggest summer event. I still to this day don't know how I survived without going completely insane.

I survived without going completely insane.

Are you sure you didn't go insane?

I hate to say this BUT


back about 10 years ago I was working 2 jobs each one near full time
Gas station 39 - 40 hours a week Thursday - Sunday 3p - 11p Tuesday 7am - 3p
Pizza delivery - 35 hours a week 3:30p - midnight Mon - Wed Wed - Fri 11a - 2p sometimes 11a - 2p on home football games on Sunday
totally weekly hours 72 - 75 hours

You notice the overlap and I only took off a day (ROCKY HORROR night Jan May Halloween) every 4-5 months or so. You do the math

I did this for like 2 or 2 1/2 years till my brain turned to utter mush and I made a BIG fuckup at the gas station. Yeah it took its toll but I REALLY needed the money as this was just after my Ex walked out and I got cleaned out financially.

I've just remembered my 2 worst "weeks." Both were for the same employer, I was doing 12 hour shifts days & nights on a 4d/4o/4n/4o rotation. They had no spare staff so holidays were covered by overtime; 12 days straight of 12 hour shifts including switching to nights on the 9th day was rough, but luckily infrequent. That counts as one of the weeks.

The other wasn't directly work's fault. I moved, to cut my 2 hour commute in half (yup, work that in above... Ouch!) My new flat didn't have a phone line, so I sprung to have one fitted - early 90s, cellphones were still the playthings of the rich. Thing is, my doorbell didn't work either, and I was 5 storeys up on the back of the building, so no shouting or watching out the window. They couldn't tell me any more than "during the day"... Oh, and this was my week on nights. So I got up on day 1, wait around all day, go to work overnight, stay upon day 2 because he's definitely coming, miss him again somehow so work night 2... And repeat the same dance for 2 more days, with him eventually turning up to install it mid-morning on day 5! I slept for 24 straight hours after that.
