Probably 13 hours, working on installing GPS units on golf carts all day. The constant reaching above the shoulders and crawling under carts killed my back.

17 hours when I worked in retail. We were short staffed, and prepping the store for the VP's annual visit.

19 hours in one day (non physical as I'm an Engineer :D).

Last year, worked 14 hours a day 7 days a week for 3 weeks. Averaged almost 100 hours per week for 6 weeks. Over 1,500 hours of OT last year! :(

Bright side: Home and one car now paid fow. Down to one car payment and lots of retirement/savings accounts now! :D
