So what's the longest amount of time you've spend working in a single day?
Due to a schedueling conflinct a few months back, I had to work both of my jobs on a saturday. At the one, I worked from 9am-12:30-ish; got a quick lunch and started at my other job at 1pm. Had a 30min break later, then worked to about 11:45pm. So... somewhere around 14 1/2 hours. I don't think I'll do that again if possible. =/

Well, during the winter I work a second job for Christmas. So I'll be working 8-5 at my primary job M-F with an hour lunch break and 8-12 Saturdays... then I'll be working 6-11 at my second job with two 15 minute breaks 5 days a week (not sure which days as of yet). So, I'll be working roughly 69 hours a week around the end of October until about a week before Christmas. That's 13 hours a day at 5 days a week, plus the four hours I work here on Saturdays. That's not including any extra shifts I may pick up at my second job for the season. It's gonna suck not seeing Bladen :(

I worked a 10-1/2 hour day at a pet food packing plant once. Not all that long, but it was hard work.

I worked from open to close at Starbucks one time. From 4am to ~10pm. I took three lunches throughout the day though, and I had the day after off.

It's going to suck a lot more for him.

When I worked at the Abercrombie warehouse I got screwed at my other job for the first two weeks. I worked in the morning either 6 or 7am there then had to work at AF from 3:45 until 12:15. I worked on a Saturday too during the first week.

In all it was 16 hour days with around an hour so in between each shift. End of the week including Saturday was 92 hours....never fucking doing that again.

9 hours on my feet with no breaks, behind a cash register which was basically a retard queue, until 11:30 PM which school the next day at 8, multiple times. Yep, I transfered from that store for a reason.

I worked about 12 hours one day making deliveries, the truck didn't have AC and it was one of the hottest days of the summer (Around 100 degrees or so the entire day I think). Damn furniture.

Working at a job? Probably around 9 hours. I'm a lazy fuck and never worked in the service industry.

Working on a class project is a different story.

I frequently spend 12 hour days at my job. I often log in up to 50-60 hours each week. The best part of it? I'm salary. It's a good thing I like what I do.

12 months, with a 2 week break in the middle. It was a tour to Iraq. I had down time yes, but I was always on duty and always had to expect something to happen so I was always ready to react.

In the civilian world? I had a 12 hour shift once at the movie theater I used to work at.

Yesterday I worked from 11 am to 2:30 or later. It came to about 14.36 hours or something like that. Also I got 2 hours sleep due to insomnia and went back in for another 5 hours and came home to dig up my back yard. All in a day(or two)'s work.

longest in one day would have to be around 15 hours. When I started my own business, I was working daily at the lumberyard from 6AM-5PM and then for myself from 5-9 every night, six days a week ( On the seventh day, i'd only work like 5 hours - usually cleaning up), for a few months, until i finally decided I couldn't keep up with the amount of work there was, even at those hours. so I quit my old job to take on my business full time.

When I dropped out of high school in Raleigh, NC, I was about 17, there was a couple of times I worked 16-17 hour days having two jobs. Talk about depressing.

Longest I've ever worked in one day was only nine hours... Grocery store clerk. Whoo low expectations!
