What's the longest you've ever worked without a break? By that, I mean the longest number of days before you had a day off.
Answering my own question... due to the arcade being short-staffed next Sunday, they've asked me to work all seven days this week. I agreed, for no other reason than needing the money - I've got a bill of over £1500 to pay in about three weeks from now. Which now means I will be working every day from today (the 27th) until the 8th September, a Saturday. Unless I'm mistaken, that's 13 consecutive days of work. I'm going to be exhausted!
It doesn't help I was meant to be going on holiday to Spain next week. However, due to the person I was going on holiday with having a couple of big problems to deal with at the moment, that's been cancelled. Instead of seeing the delights of Spain, I'll be seeing the delights of change machines and whinging customers. Whoop-de-bloody-do.

That was when I was homeless two years ago. I needed the money, and I also didn't have anywhere else to go except work.
Eta: Worked in an Irish college for 3 weeks everyday but wasn't doing manual labour there. Workewd on a building site though for 5 days a week. Cunt!
Last week I did 6 12 hour shifts (72 hours), then half a day off and back in for another 60 hour week.. I'm quite accustomed to working stupid hours, I do try and take decent breaks every so often though.
Meh, it'd be easier if I didn't have to do it.. but money makes the world go round..
Huzzah.
In the last couple of years I've worked at least a month without a break a couple of times because working weekends is an extra few hundred quid in the bank. It's worth it.
Since having office jobs only six days in a row at any one time. But I have done a it for three/four weeks in a row at peak times.
But thats when I worked at a record shop, the money was good and I loved it.
I'm going into a field now where my shifts will be three days work + three days off. I'm going to love that.
