Having four 1 hour breaks means you didn't work 36 hours non-stop.

The longest working day (non-stop - no lunch breaks, no nothing) I've done, that I can remember, is 18 hours.

Stephen

14 hours... with about 10 minutes travel time between 2 sites in the middle of it.

mine was 32 hours back when I used to work in a security company 5 or 6 years ago. Ended up working a 2 shifts back to back as the person that was supposed to come in didnt bother.

I hated that job soooo much.

Havelock

He was obviously working is drug den.

working as in effort, I was a floor mananger in Lidl's and worked 30 hours straight, because the tills went down all money needed to be counted all the time, and I was the only managerial staff without a family.

other wise a 36 hour security shift, two 18 hours back to back. Night shifts, played solitare.

a aprentaship?
If you want to be a writer maybe you should go back to school for a while first.
I hear the government help special kids out with expence's.

GoneShootin

22 hours non stop. No breaks

I wont be doing it again - ever.

Sarky

Security.

Creamfields.

Nightshift, followed immediately by a dayshift.

Just short of 48 hours of misery.

Take that back. I kill you, I kill you good.

A spell-checker would be rather convenient nowadays, what with the internet and computers and all.

I once spent 38 hours straight working when I was editor of one of the newspapers in College. No breaks - just me at the same desk from midday on a Sunday to 2am the following Tuesday.

Ste-

I've never gone more than 4 hours without a break.

In my current job it barely goes 2 hours without a break of some sort.

Gordon

Probably only 24. This was in the place where for one of the months I worked 7am to 1am 6 days a week for IR£100 per week.

If there's one thing that gets my goat it's people nit-picking at other people's spelling online.

If there's another thing that really gets my goat it's idiots attempting to correct someone elses spelling online when they can't spell themselves.

It's expenses

16hrs myself

Mossy Monk

18 hours and it nearly killed me. it was in a kitchen which was 39.3 on the thermometer

36hrs...with breaks.....try 65 hrs, no breaks(after being awake for 60 odd hrs before hand(I would seriously advise against staying awake that long)... now that was a long, long shift.

I was halluncinating near the end of it...

If people continue to moan about other peoples spelling, I'll delete the moaners post...so kindly shut up about it, please.

Cabaal

Well looks like I'm fairly low on the chart.
Longest I've worked none stop with NO breaks what so ever was 13 hours.

Oh the fun of it all...

On a side note longest I've been away for was around 57-58 hours.
not much eh?

Dakeyras

33 hours was my longest, in an office doing drawings for a project that had to be in the next evening. so two of us stayed overnight working away and were still there the next morning when everyone else came in. We were meant to go home when we got done but didn't get finished until after everyone nearly everyone had gone again, painful. Though it was great craic, there was one stage when we were wearing coffee filters on our heads and dancing to war of the worlds. A scary image i know but a tad humourous as well, tough work but a good laugh as well. Needless to say we went straight from work to the pub and the two of us were suitably scuttered after an abysmal 4 pints. could neither walk nor talk with any degree of accuracy but at that stage none was really neccessary.

Now thats seriously hardcore non-sleepage going on there.

Just an interesting piece of info as well, the record for the longest time ever without sleep is held by Randy Gardner, a 17 year old high school lad who stayed continuously awake for 264 hours/11 days!!! :eek: now that is some time to be awake. Don't know how he managed it but impressive all the same.
