9 days straight. Somehow this happened as I am switching to a different schedule after day 4 - I will be working from 230pm - 1030pm rather than my overnights. Just for a month but I am excited all the same. Only issue is that I will be working 9 days straight with this transition. I normally burn out at my job after day 4, which is good because normally we only work 4 in a row. Luckily on Tuesday I will only be working 3 hours, but every other day its between 8-12. Tonight is my Monday. Do you ever work long stretches like this? Any motivation is helpful :-)

@maezee Well at the time I really needed the money but that did not mean I was happy about the long days and hours lol I hope you get a break soon.

There was a time when I took a part time job on top of my full time job, and I was literally working 7 days a week for a couple of month. I cut down on the hours on the part time job, and so I worked 6 full days a week for a year. During those few months when I worked 7 days a week, I did not have Monday blue. Since every day is a work day, every day feels the same. You will survive. Ironically when i was working such crazy hours, I was very healthy. Not a single ailment. After I started to cut down on the hours, the body started to feel sick!

That is awesome to hear. I know I will survive but I need to keep my attitude in check - like keep a good attitude about it otherwise it will be. Avery unhappy 9 days indeed. Trying to stay positive and motivated though!

@maezee It's all right. Just 9 days, and not a few months! Just think of the money that you will earn!

9 days in a row is a long time. Just think of Tuesday like your day off with just 3 hours scheduled. I work 5 days in a row maximum and sometimes less than that with federal holidays or sick/personal days.

Yes! Thank you. Doesnt 5 days in a row feel like too much? We are pretty spoiled normally and work only 4 days in a row, which I love.
