What is the longest amount of hours you have worked in a row?

36. dang, here, I thought I was doing good

working 22.5 hours in a 24 hour period.

I had gotten a factory job and also gave my old employer notice, but I still had to work at the old job for about a week, plus I owned my own bookstore.

But then, on like my last day at the old job, my employer offers me a raise - matching what I was making at the new job (went from $5.5 to $7.15). So I got up at like 2 a.m. and cleaned the bar from 3 to 7, then opened my store at 8 until about 3 p.m. when I went and got some lunch. Then worked at the auto parts factory from 3:30 to to 11:30 then back to clean the bar again from midnight to 3.

Not exactly "straight" but a lot of work for 24 hours (I thought) although to be fair, working in my own store was usually pretty clack, mostly involving sitting and reading.

Funny thing is, that I quit the auto parts factory that day, so I really did not have to work, but wanted to try out some thumb protectors I had sort of "invented". That auto parts factory where I worked for a whole six days was about the toughest job I ever had. It was beating the crap out of me doing that work.

Edit, but it was common for me, for about two years to work a full time job and then also work six hours or so in my store. Or for another two years to work four or six hours as a janitor for a bar and then work 8 or 9 hours in my store. My store was open six days a week and the part time janitor job was seven days a week. At one point, I noted that I had worked over 150 days without even ONE day off.
