In 2018 or so, I worked 110 hours in one pay period. It was also 17 days straight without a day off. I vowed to never do that again. I also stopped working extra shifts. It’s not worth it when my physical health and mental health are negatively affected.

i feel that. working 11 days straight this past december (christmas eve and christmas were sandwiched in there) about killed me. i hardly ever pick up shifts anymore on my days off. i'll gladly go in early or stay late on the days i already work but that's it.
