Mine was around 45 hours straight. Worked 2 different jobs and worked 5 x 8 hour shifts back to back to back to back to back. What is yours?

52 hours straight after the lovebug virus struck. Stupid ass computer techs should have known a virus when they see one. BTW, I worked in tech support call center and nearly every single one of our almost 500 computers got hit with it.

Also, I did work two full time jobs for a whole month without a day off once. I pulled a full month annual training for the Army Reserve working the graveyard shift as an MP (10:30pm to 8am daily) as well as working as a sales team manager for the now defunct company Damark where my hours were 1pm to 10pm Tuesday thru Saturday. I was averaging about 4 hours of sleep per day during that time when you took into account ironing my uniform, shining my boots, etc. It was hell, I still don't know how I did it, but I was 19 at the time, so I guess I was young and dumb.

somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 days...

longer if you count cramming for my O-Chem 1 final (something like 5 days with 4 hours sleep - yes it sucked - but I went from a C- to a B+ because of my final score)

just about 13 hours... but it's a stressful 13 hours because it was resolving a customer problem and they're constantly on your back. It's not like it was la-di-da how many more hours till I get out of here type of work..
