29 hours -- 6 hours break -- 22 hours -- 8 hours break -- 22 hours

That is one of the reason I quit IT & detest salary jobs.

17hours. Too bad that didn't count the hour I was on the road to get to n from work as well. Did that twice. The second time I didn't get any sleep before work, that or if I went to sleep, there was no way I was going to wake up. I was dreaming on my way home from work with my eyes open, almost hit a parked unmarked... I had alot of fun being assistant project manager during that project though, wish I was busy that much all the time.

I used to work 15 hr days pretty frequently when I did landscaping type work at the golf course.

I've worked 20hr days on engineering field tests at my current job.

If I could get what I make now to do landscaping, I would do it in a heartbeat. I love outdoor physical labor.

42 hours without sleep or rest. 1700 workstation network, upgrading to VLAN tagged DHCP. Had multiple accounts and several separate statically addressed and segregated networks. The failed upgrade of the summer of 2000 ended with a smoking 3com core router. We had to go back to static addresses. Unfortunately we didn't write the originals down. You know how often lowly IT folk update static maps? Fucking never. Granted it was office work, but once I realized I had worked a full week and it was barely wednesday morning I told them I had to go to sleep.

Followed by the successful upgrade of the spring of 2001 with cisco stuff that worked.
