10. With my last job I did 48-plus on a regular basis...

That company was always short-staffed (Not many people want to work for an evil conglomerate, it seems) and every call weekend became a study in sleep depravation. After 16 hours on the clock, they were supposed to send out relief but nobody was ever available. Keep in mind that this was a Petroleum Laboratory, so details and safety were rather important. After about 30 hours of this kind of work, your mind is not capable of quality (or even safe) work. I never had any accidents, thankfully, but I did fall asleep at the wheel on my way home a few times... :scared:
