@DrRock What was your experience?

wildbill83 · 41-45, M
Try 3 days straight...
@wildbill83 When we were "swinging engines" on the boats in the gulf, we had to stay awake until the new engines were installed. Sometimes up to 80 hours. Even when we were not doing a thing, we weren't allowed to sleep! Some boats had hard ass skippers, and other boats were too much cake! I was on one in Galveston where we did nothing but play video games and eat up a very generous grocery allotment, and a couple in Louisiana that were floating night clubs! I got the crabs without even touching the merchandise!
Crazy shit!!!!!!!!!

@puck61 that's when it gets tough. When you're active/busy all the time, if doesn't bother you and you lose awareness of time, it's when you stop and actually have time to think about it...
@wildbill83 I learned that dreams are an autonomic function. If you do not sleep and dream, you will dream while you are awake! No joke!

Jm31xxx · 46-50, M
I've done 14 hours before. On my feet constantly. Very brutal at first but you get used to it.

@FireAndWater thanks
Yeah, that was the standard day when I was offshore. 12 hours a day 7 days a week for up to two months, if you could talk them into letting you do it! Otherwise it was a month on and two weeks off.

SW-User
That sounds like average :|
FireAndWater · 31-35, F
@SW-User Whaaaa? How many hours do you do?😱
FireAndWater · 31-35, F
@JoyfulSilence How did you find it?
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
@FireAndWater It sucked.

It was my choice, however. I knew I had a lot to do so came in 2 hours earlier than normal, and left 2 hours later than normal.

The good news is that after my boss found out, he gave me overtime pay! Yet he told me next time to ask permission first, before working so long.
FireAndWater · 31-35, F
@JoyfulSilence haha wow
FireAndWater · 31-35, F
