I actually went 72 hours at one point. Worst job of my life
Think my record is 88 or so when I tore my meniscus riding my bike to work (since i had lost like 80 pounds doing that) which a doctor misdiagnosed as tendonitis before referring me to the shittiest sports doctor in the world
Two weeks later ditched him and got into a decent doctor who ordered me an MRI 45 minutes later at the imaging place near my house, got me a cortisol shot, bedrest/disability paperwork the next day, and referred me to a physical therapist
My knee will never recover and I gained all the weight back and more and I still feel stuck in an endless cycle of never making enough money to move out and live on my own and actually be a real goddamn adult
Seriously fuck that. I once did a 20 hour day with about 40ish hours packed into Friday through Sunday going on Monday morning. We were all about ready to quit when management told us it wouldn't count towards one of our quotas. Luckily they backed down.
I cannot imagine going a full 72 hours. I'd stay up for days at a time in college. Except I wasn't always doing work (mostly it was insomnia caused by depression lol).
