27 hour+ shift of shopfitting in marks and spencers under immense pressure from store managers to do little extras all the time. solid carpentry and decorating and you all end up snappy and fighting at the end of it coz of the stress. long shifts like this have happened frequently.

I have worked either 0500am-18.30pm, or 1300pm-0200am everyday for the last month without a day off. Infact Saturday is my first day off since 23 April, and 13 hours every single day. God I'm tired.

Longest shift worked is 5am till 12am.
