close to 70 twice on a deadline when I was in my 20s & early 30s. Now, early 40s, I let the interns do the heavy lifting; Waitr whatever they want for dinner and I go home. Now, I work 45-50 at most on deadlines about twice a year. I actually bought a $4500 rifle/scope setup two yrs ago on overtime pay & mileage checks.

ETA: on one deadline, I listened to the entire Led Zeppelin and Metallica discographies in two days.

Don't know about a week, but I've worked 12-16 hours a day, seven days a week, for six months before.

when I worked at the flying service, i worked 5am-9pm every day 6 1/2 days a week


fricking hated it, hated the money for it but the company got audited and they were paying me under min. wage so they had to cut another check to me like 8 months after I left for $3300

still not worth it

I guess it depends on your gig. I work about 16-20 hours a week visiting my clients and maybe another 5-6 doing paperwork at home. I'm considered a consistent GRINDER in my industry.

In 2006 and 2007 my minimum was around 90 (6x15) and I worked 115-120 (7x15+) several times. We were starting a complete new service center for the federal government and it was brutal.

For many years I took care of someone at home who was very, very ill. I had caregivers for about forty hours a week while I was at the office. The rest was on me. Between rendering medical and personal care, raising my sons, and running the household, I had about six hours a day off to sleep. That was interrupted at least once by the need for care during the night. This was seven days a week.

I routinely put in over 120 hour workweeks. Looking back, I still don't know how I did it.

I know it took years off my life.
