ive got a 16hour shift 2moro!!

6am ive got to be in there yard so that means i got to be up at 5am..

dont finish till 10pm

are people on here working that

 

what you want a medal? (btw i can make medals PMSL)

done plenty of 16+ hour shifts in my time,,

 

And i am guessing you will be getting overtime for this? Whats your point?

I can work 24hrs a day 7 days a week and not get any over time.

 

Bloke I worked with at foundry did that every day for months, 06:00-22:00, and some saturdays.
Dead now, funnily enough.

 

thats nowt,i knocked in a 6am-4.30pm the next day towards the end of last year (34.5 hours) and after the first 12 it was double time

16 is fuck all...spesh to a young lad

 

Yep ive done shifts like that in the past and thought nothing of it to be honest. Its the 20 hour+ ones that get to you.

 

done it a few times on call out but normally start at 8:00 and finsh at 1,2,or 3 am the next morning, sometimes on a private jobs as well, the more i think about ive done quite a few 12hour + days , me and my mate did a 15hour day followed by two fourteen hour days last summer, did kill me!, just got to think of the money!!

 

ROTFLMAO

 

the time doesnt bother me to be honest, but lifting such things as thick metal cabinets about 3times the size of me up 10-20 flights of stairs...

and loading a 17.5 lorry full twice and then emptying them (large office computer desks etc)

im not looking for a medal at at!! im just saying that its quite long for what ive got to do imo..

its a shift and 6 hours over time so should be picking up abit which is the main thing

4 hours will be traveling as im in bristol..and then about 1.30 hour of breaks so should be ok...

 

Hope you are not driving that truck for 16hrs.

 

na i dont drive it..

 

longest i've worked was 76hrs with 7hrs sleep wilst on the move inbetween jobs.....after that i'v done a 36hr shift....but used to do 20+hr shifts at least once a week.....................thankfully i dont do many long ones anymore..........

 

.........i do....drive 6hrs then work 8-10 then drive home.........

 

im so glad someone got it LOL LOL

 

When i was at school, i used to run 4 miles home at 15:20, get home about half hour later, throw my school bag down, grab the catalouges, go running around the estate delivering them, run back to collect the goods that were dropped off, then run round delivering them to last weeks customers, get home for about 18:00, get changed ready to catch the bus into town at 18:10 to get into work for 18:30, then worked until we finished which was around 2:00-3:00 in the morning, home for 2:30-3:30, straight to bed, then up for school at 7:00.

I did this for a good few years non-stop, all so i could afford to pay for my first car outright.

I thought that would be it once i got my car, and thought i could chill out a bit.

It was then that i realised how much it actually cost to run a car, so continued like it did for antoher couple of years whislt i did my A-levels.

Then, i started buying the car mags looking at all the modded cars, so ended up carrying on working non-stop to pay for the bits and pieces i wanted.

THE VISCOUS CYCLE AT ITS BEST/WORST!!!!

 

He said 4 hours.
16 hour day is alright as long as have a 9 hour rest period before next shift.

 

here theres a new e.u lawits here in sweden that states
no more than 13 hours working shift,11 hours minimum till next shift and minimum 36 hours weekend rest
and trust me it will be in the u.k soon

 

done quite a few of them , dnt really mind them
it's all about the money

 

I like this new 30 minute break for 6 hours work, and having to have 15 min break before 30 min, really fucks me up if I have a non driver.
Why the fuck your breaks have to be in that order, what a load of nonsense.

 

it in already mate,, but you can disclaim from it! and plus its not that straight forward, it can work on a 3 month average aswell!

 

I know this 48 hour thing gets averaged over year, more or less.
That 13 hour in is it?
Have to bear that in mind, may come in handy.
So what if you break down, and can get to within an hour from base?
Sheds I drive always breaking down.

 

I must have missed that, or its been edited after i posted.

I know the rules aswell, even in my job we have to stick to them when driving in the UK.

 

Fuck that i will stick to my 8.30 till 5 i do an hours over time every now and then. I just love my time away from work. We spend enough time at work.

 

Was doing 25 hour shifts twice a week for two months ( Mon & fri)
Longest ave done is 36 hour

 

longest ive worked is 8-8 but now i dont work after 5, preferably after 3.30

 

well, if i work overtime

 

16 hours? ive done alot more than that son & thats without the traveling

 

welcome to work life jay.
you've fucked about at college long enough now
bit of graft never hurt no one - there usually the ones better off
an just think where the moolar goes!!!

 

Same as me really mate, i will do my own jobs outside work, but as far as my actual job goes 8.30-5.00 and a couple of hours on a Saturday will do me.

 

cant belive some of the hours u guys do!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can just about handle doing my 7 1/2 hours a day 5 days a week and i enjoy my job but i enjoy my time away from it a hell of alot more

 

18 hours, pffft,
That was an average drinking session for some of us


PS - Give us your address and we will get a chufty badge sent out to you

 

ive done a few of start at 6.00am right through till 11.00am next day,think thats about 29hours?

Done it a few times now, get paid double time from 8.00pm aswell.

that dont include traveling nor going back to work at 3.00pm after a couple hours sleep to finish at 7.00pm that night.

 

Pat yourself on the back

 

i do 12 hour days regularly usally 3 a week and the other 2 or 3 shifts can be 10 hours. Like its been said its all about the money.

 

havent got time, im working lol

 

Not you, Bonus boy

 

lol
Awww i feel left out now.

 

A know what your saying. A was told before a started my job that a may need to do some long hours as we do concrete floors start to finish now and then. Normally a good laugh at night hearing the jokes and war wound stories

9 hours standard rate, time and a half till finish, if after 2am off next day paid
Pays for the toys

But when there no concrete its standard week for me and never work weekends

 

most ive ever done was 92 in one week many years ago ..it was was a BP pipe line project rush jobby..was fucked for about 2 weeks afterwards..

i would never do it again though....even though the cash was nice

theres more to life than

bed to work work to bed...
