Getting Through A Long Day!!

Hmmm The very first job that I enjoyed doing was teaching. I was teaching from 6am to 11pm. That's over 12 hours but I enjoyed it. Then I realised i was missing out on "me time." So I quit. For about 10 years now I haven't been employed and I work at my own pace and my own time.

I hope you do not drink coffee every hour to keep awake. My longest day at work started at 7.30 am and ended at 11 pm. It was not that bad, because I have known people who worked 24 hours continuously.

I used to work a split which was usually okay but sometimes seemed like 12 hours instead of the usual 8. It is 3.5 to 4 hours in the morning and then that amount in the afternoon or evening. Equaling 8 hours. It was nice if I had something going on and wanted the time off in the middle of my usual working day. But, when I didn't and was scheduled it anyway it could be a real headache.

I have always been self employed, I worked with my husband, I remember a day that we started at 6 in the morning and at midnight we were still working.

I had to do an overnight once. I worked at a church and I was running a retreat for 7th graders. I had volunteers who came in to help me cook and run the activities and just be there while the kids slept to make sure everyone was safe. They let me go and get a couple of hours of sleep myself, but I kept waking up because I was worried. So I kept watch and kept things going until we let the kids go home and then I went home myself and passed out! lol

I once did 16 hour shifts 7 days a week for about two weeks. The company wanted me to continue but after seeing my overtime money going to the government and not me I told them no. It wasn't worth the loss of spending time with Mike and resting. I went back to my 10 hour/4 day a week shift.

A 10.5 hour shift is too long. Take it easy.

probably about the same in a paid role but when I was in the cult I helped out at a rock concert food stall they ran for a 28 hour shift with only toilet breaks - 4 hours sleep later I was on duty again

I am not really sure, more than 8 hours.

I always worked 8 hours, except once in a while did 1 or 2 hours overtime.

I work at home but when I was working in the public it was 8 hours only. !0.5 is too long!

I think ten is my longest. I enjoyed the ten hour shifts, it meant three days off. I hope it works out for you and you're not too tired after your shift is over.

Does it technically count as a shift, if you had a bit of a break to catch a nap? If so, I put in a 24 hour shift, while working on a chicken farm. I did my normal daily tasks, had supper and a nap and went back until the next morning at the time I would normally have arrived.

Regularly used to work 12 hours on weekend shifts

If you don't do it often it is hard. Some years ago I would anything from 12 to 15 hours, sometimes doing 80 hours a week. Thankfully those days are well and truly over. I did it for over a year.

Long hours indeed. Some work 16 hour shifts. I hope it turns out alright for you.

I worked 10,hours online teaching. At first, it was so difficult. Then I changed my schedules by having breaks in between.

I worked in IT company and for us 10-11 hour work shift is very normal. I think I had worked for ~16 hour shift is the longest shift.

I worked once almost 24 hours! I was the accountant in charge and before the arrival of computers. So the books were free only at night and I had to reply to the queries of auditors. I had done that when I was the auditor too at clients offices - siva

24 hrs with kids.he he.
