Also was there ever a time you were asked or could have worked late but didn't and then missed a deadline? I haven't had that happen yet. I have said weeks in advance a deadline wouldn't be met but that was with weeks notice and once the due date was changed and then all the long hours were not needed. <br /><br />I have worked 17 hour days the summer after senior year of high school but I worked 8 hours, went home and showered, then went to my second job and worked a 9 hour shift (often) but being a janitor and then being a waitress or hostess were totally different than the thinking involved now that I'm doing a real job.<br /><br /><br />Thanks about the vest. It was new and more expensive than I would have spent but tops were buy one get one half price. So I half justified it that way. I will have a post with the new clothes but I just didn't get around to it yet. I bought a lot at the mall this weekend :)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04690377414823039284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262517490401335977.post-69301336706615295242011-09-29T10:35:52.905-07:002011-09-29T10:35:52.905-07:00Love the vest!

I think the longest I've ever worked is about 22 hours in one long chunk, but it was for my full-time job and then straight on to a freelance project I was working on with the same group of people. I had 2 hours from when we stopped at 5 am until I had to be at work at 7 for a site visit, so I brought a change of clothes (I knew there was a deadline), and crashed at my boss's house for a few hours so I wouldn't waste an hour driving back to my own place. I also worked until 2am on my birthday last year for a work deadline (I took a 1.5 hour break for dinner, though). The things we do for work...Angelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098744323184143823noreply@blogger.com
