Would you be willing to work for more than 10 hours a day, if the pay is good?

Yeah, I don't know if I could handle doing 12 hour days. I just had a 12 hour day one day last week. We just finished doing inventory and that took us all day. I was there from 6 in the morning until 6 in the evening. As soon as the boss said I could leave, I left out of there. I stopped to get some food on the way home 'cause I knew I wasn't going to feel like cooking anything when I got home.
 
My cousin does that, 12 hour shifts, but he stands there watching bottles go by.
 
I've done some crazy stuff when it comes to jobs.

Longest ever workday was 23.5 hours. (I started at 8am on a Thursday and finished at 7:30 on a Friday). So not only 24 hours awake... but most of that actually working. (And to answer how I did it... I was actually working 2 jobs at the time and I worked from 8-4:30 at one job then went home, got changed and went to the other job.)

Though I've done other shifts of like 10-12 hours fairly regularly. (Some of them have been night shifts, others were days. ) It's never been tough for me to get my 40 hours a week if I want it. And it's not because I'm a slow worker or anything like that. They know I'm a hard worker.

I've often been the one to do more to help out coworkers.

I don't think I could pull off a 24 hour job cycle without breaking my no energy drink rule.

We had a couple of people who worked overnight to put freight out. I wasn't on that crew that did that but I'm sure it was nice because you got to work uninterrupted. You didn't have to deal with customers and you didn't have to answer phones or anything like that. You got to work on freight and that was it.

I did that at Lowes for about 5 months. It was chill at first, but then I discovered 99% of my co-workers, and my boss, were a bunch of jerks. I also was put in charge of two departments and it was just too hard. I was fired after a BS altercation with the manager.
 
I never had any energy drinks that night (they don't do much for me anyway). And I don't drink tea/coffee either so it was pretty much just pure spite/will keeping me going that night.
And for the record, looking back, yeah it was dumb of me to do it.
 
I would rather work 10 hours a day rather than 8 if I knew it was going to give me an extra day off at some point during the week. I would rather work 10 hours a day 4 days out of the week than 8 hours a day 5 days out of the week. I would prefer the extra day off.
 
As long as I’m busy, sure. Anything over eight hours where your just letting time pass is annoying, I’d rather be very busy.

I've never worked 24 hours in a row before. I don't know that I could pull something like that, especially in my present job.
