Engineer worked 84.8 hours per week for 7 weeks with 4 days off in that span! :p

Included 105 hours in one week! :p

Engineer is still tired....(insert tired icon here)! ;)

Oh, and Engineer is an EE/Automation engineer and had too many managers schedule too much work without talking to each other. The automakers don't care if there is a scheduling conflict and their "fines" are heavy!

:beer: for the moose!!! :D

Not trying to belittle your substantial work schedule, but...

I've worked 80 hours+ a week for the past several months with a few 100 hour weeks thrown in for good measure.

60, 70, 80.... it really doesn't matter; working these hours consistently is definitely not healthy, in my opinion.

this weekend i worked from 5am on Saturday through to 3am on sunday morning (22 hours).... and my scheduled shift was a measly four hour shift hehe
the only reason I did it was because we actually get overtime pay

Bah! That's nothing. I work from 7-9PM every day at the minimum. When it gets busy, I'm looking at 2AM.

Wow... more people working ungodly inhumane hours than I thought.

What kind of life can you have when all you do is work and sleep?

I dunno about you guys, but i'd be nervous as hell having an overworked/underslept surgeon performing surgery on me...
