You must be forced to work a shift like that, because no one in their right mind would do it. I don't care how much they multiply your hourly rate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Naw it's not that bad. Had a Top Gear then a Firefly marathon. Besides I need to pay for my toys somehow.

Undercover agents work rediculous hours sometimes. Of course, they don't come on public forums complaining about it.

My record is 45 hours straight.. I got 3 hours of sleep and did it again for another 30 straight..

My key was eating apples and a lot of salt intake while staying hydrated..

I'd say, no Viagara required thrust rod engineer!!!
