Working 90 hours a week would probably move me to suicide unless it was a job I absolutely loved (can't think of a job I could love that much).
My longest work weeks ever were 112 hours followed by 107 hours. They were consecutive weeks. It was years ago when I was in an hourly job. I volunteered for it because it was needed coverage and I wanted the money. It made me horribly sick and I wanted to die. I'd never do that again.

It's nice. I'm salary and the only reason I'm at work today is because I've been out for two weeks and wanted to get caught up. I had 200 emails and 9 days of reports to review plus a 38 page document but the deadline for that is April 1 so I'll do that early this coming week.

My all time high is 96 hrs. The worst thing about it is that when I'm hitting huge numbers like that it's because my company is short handed, instead of doing my mildly easy job of upkeep/scheduling maintenance and repair of the company's huge lot of vehicles and machinery and the occasional delivery, I'm going out on location and pulling fucking plastic to make containments. I had 74 hours this week and most of it came from running a pressure washer and driving.
I really need to look for another job but working that much I can't get motivated and well... Alcohol knows it's gonna win.

Jesus christ, my last job I was scheduled for 72 hours a week but then I was off the whole week after. So more like 36h/week. Doing that much every week more than two or three in row would probably drive me insane.

I need to make some sheppard's pie sometime soon. I haven't had it in a couple of years.
Attempting to explain the philosophy of Heidegger in a paper that will be read by history professors who are mostly uninterested in philosophy. It's not necessarily hard, but it's tedious.

I made some a couple of weeks ago and put bacon in it because why not. However, I put a little too much bacon in and it was super greasy

Listening to my acoustic cover I did today of I Hate People by GG Allin. It's pretty good. I fucked up the lyrics and just improvised, which is scary, considering it all actually came to my head on my own thoughts...
The acoustic is distorted a bit from shitty microphones.

That is what I do. I have a great pair of 40 dollar Sony folding headphones that have lasted since October after extremely loud, bass heavy or treble heavy music has been played through them. Most ear buds will not hold up to my purposes. I had a pair of "heavy duty" ear buds made of metal (and said METAL on the package) that blew out after a few months of use. My next pair lost one driver from one of Zakk Wylde's pinch harmonics while listening to Black Label Society. I found some more that worked, but I finally got a pair of headphones. They haven't faltered yet.
They can play loud without being all up in your ear like ear buds. Also, Cancer sounds great played through them. So does Exodus. So does just about anything. However, you cannot beat a real open speaker. I have some hearing issues now, and I'm trying to be less harsh on my ears, so at home, I just listen through my phone speakers. They are small and trebly. Now, I have found my old Bluetooth speaker. It goes really loud, and shakes the room because it has small subwoofers on it too. It sounds great.
At school, I get started at with the headphones on. One teacher actually grabbed me by the collar and yanked me back and told me I can't wear them at school. I thought "fuck that", and I use them in school anyways (Not in class, of course). They are kind of clumsy and visually obstructive, but who gives a shit?

I don't trust you American scum with Sheppard's Pie anymore since I heard so many of you fuckers confuse it with Cottage Pie and fuck the ingredients up.
Dude is that all at the same fucking job? Fuck that shit.
I stopped working my life away to that degree about 2 years ago, but I had 2 jobs so it was logical to be overworked. Fuck that shit, never again.

Sitting on my couch sipping some coffee and reading. Been home from work for two days due to being really, really fucking sick for the 4th or 5th time since November. My immune system is shit.
Even being home sick is a day off for me. I feel you @Krow . I work a solid 65-80 hours a week depending on the week. Shit is crazy. It's taking a toll on my body and mind lately.

Same job. Fuck it being two jobs. I can't imagine working two seperate jobs for that amount of time and getting no overtime pay.

I can't get over being sick either, man. It comes with the territory of working too fucking much, I've been sick all winter...
