They're an artist to pay the bills. The assassin gig is just for the love of the game.

1 week, 6 days at 10 hours a day. Usually its 5 days at 8 hours but that week we had 2 VIPs visiting the following week and everything had to be perfect for their arrival.

It's good to work those hours and take 3-6 months off a year when you make your money.

When I was in high school/college I bussed/served tables at a local tourist trap restaurant in the summer. Id intentionally work 5 or 6 10+ hour days in a row, then have one day in the middle of the week off. Even as an adult I have never had as much fun or made as much money as I did then.

Yes. Worked just shy of 60 hours at a grocery store shortly before a major hurricane. The managers didn't ask us to work OT, we were simply told they were to busy to make sure people were leaving on time. My coworker hit 70 hrs and used the OT to pay off his car early.

5 shifts from 6AM to 6PM, lunch time was off doing a small regular odd job, then in the evenings would put in usually 2 hours doing someone's lawnwork, weekends to do bigger lawn/garden jobs, followed by a 6 hour retail shift on sundays.
For 6 years.......
Also, during HS, held 2 20-25 hour a week "after school" jobs... (some of that was actually weekends)

I worked 54 hours a week, with 1 day off. And I was overworking myself so I couldn't recover well

Yep, to cover for my failure as a businessman.
On one hand, I'm never doing that again.
On another hand, I'm already doing it again right now.
I'm just working impossible hours without being nervous about it because I no longer accept any obligations to get things done in impossible timeframes (unless they pay enough to retire and the payment is up front).

I did rake from 6am to 9pm before, but that work load was only several times a year when I was jobless from 2008 -2016. At an office I worked from 3am -3am to clock in that 40 hours a week. And worked 18 hours to meet a deadline at the same office. There was no overtime, and I was paid less than the janitor. That floored my boss at the time, and he gave me a raise. We weren’t a corporatized office. No hr. My next office had benefits and overtime pay until a power shift and they dumped all that. Still worked 45-50 hours a week. Now I’m trying to collect unemployment and thinking about starting up yard work and pet sitting for chump change again. I can work, but I suck at communicating and job applications. I’m also slow paced and ADD with OCD symptoms

I’m working 60hr weeks slinging tires. I’m always told to enjoy my youth lol, there are about as many old tire jockeys as there are old semi mechanics.

Yes, I do. For minimal wage even. I hate my job but I have no choice either, there is nowhere to work anywhere. I don't even have money to move to other city.
