Long ass shifts.

[aussieskier]

i just came off a 20hr shift. did breakfast, lunch and dinner today then preped for dinner (im apprentice chef) it fucking sucks i got work again in 8 hrs for a 17hr shift tomorrow. anyone else do big shifts like this?

 

[aussieskier]

sorry i prepped for breakfast.

 

[whoisikeEh]

dude thats so much dough though, haha i have 25 hr weeks, while u have 20 hr days, how much you get paid?

 

[timmi]

the longest ive done is 12 hours. it was rough. i hope you get some good breaks or something

 

[shrEddie]

yeah man how much do you get an hour. thats a ton of money no matter how much you get

 

[whoisikeEh]

yea if i did 20 hours id have like 160 bucks. thats a half oz and a case or 2. thats tight

 

[m1garand]

yea but don't you get to have like 4 days off now to ski?

 

[linemaverick16]

To bad man that sounds harsh. I have done some 10 hours shifts and I thought those were harsh. I also am only 14 but that doesnt make much difference.

 

[lanks]

dont talk until you've done a 168 hour shift. i have witnesses.

 

[whoisikeEh]

commercial fishing?

 

[lanks]

rickshawing and not going home for a week.

 

[Torbord]

Ive done a couple of those working in a kitchen... did a 12 hour shift yesterday, which would not be that bad except it was suppose to be my day off.

 

[Tinga]

yeah i worked a 9 hour shift and i thought that was the longest day of my life and i was only 15 which im pretty sure is illegal

 

[spyder1]

joel, skiing doesnt count

 

[k_Boss957]

chefs have long days so why are you complaining

 

[FUUUCK]

20 hours thats rough

 

[Paul-o-Rama]

thats crazy long

 

[JoakimHayland]

i did a 21 hours shift once, the rest of the week i was like 17 hours, i was dead the weekend after that

 

[~Cork_1080~]

yea, i think my record is 14.

 

[icecreamsandwich]

yea i just work 4 - 12 hour shifts a week in a factory.....i thought they were rough.

but i guess you gotta know going into cooking that chances are you will be working long hours.

 

[lanks]

no, i'm serious. i did a 168 hour shift in august of 2004. thats exactly 7 days. it was so gnar...i was insane by the end of it.

 

[Anathema]

yeah long shifts blow. i hate having to work retail for 12 hours straight. dealing with customers for that amount of time can drive a man crazy..

 

[freestyler540]

thats hard, I thought 12 hour shifts sucked

 

[Corkster]

i did 16 hrs once

 

[Corkster]

and quite a few 12's

 

[Lateralis]

ive done 17 before. that was hell. imagine delivering milk for 17 hrs. that shit is intense

 

[triebby]

holy crap, thats insane.

 

[Snubluck]

I pulled a 15 hour on thanksgiving at the movie theater as the projectionist and also building up 4 movies.

 

[aussieskier]

yea im making 50 an hour australian so thats i dunno 35us? and the thing that sucks is i now have another 1 tommorow and then sleep for 3 hours and then start again for a 16. and break wise i had all up of about a hour and a half spread into 15mins a time. i am making good money so i shouldnt be bitching about it.

I've done about 21-22 hour days for 8 days in a row before. So that's a total of about 172 hours in 8 days.
