I've worked 12 hrs days and longer when I worked for someone else many moons ago but i wouldn't do it now...

By the way what happened to some of the workaholic window cleaners that used to come on here?

Danny mac was one and a guy from liverpool(cant remember his name now)...

Thank goodness for workers rights, human rights and unions. If the government had their way we wouldn't get a pension, we'd work 'til we drop into our coffins  >:(

My dear departed FiL used to work 12 hour shifts. But only 3 days a week. 36 hrs still counted as full time. It was 6am - 6pm and meant he had a four day break.

It was Thurs Friday Saturday.

Just work until the day’s work is done. Be it 3 hours or 12. Or more.
