Mate if you're even reaching 40 hours you've been there too long. If you're racing 60 hours then it's basically your home!

I do 40 hours a week. It's average isn't it?

Although yeah I admit it's too long. But I used to do 60 houses a week and that's unhealthy.

Obviously depends on your industry, but I thought 37.5 hours would be the standard (8 hour days with half an hour for lunch), and some of that is tea breaks etc. What were you doing that involved 60 hours a week? I hope you at least owned the company!

The 60 hour week job was as a security guard. Bloody awful job.

No one ever broke in or did everything interesting. It was 12 hours on, 12 hours off. Then I got fired because no one ever broke in so "clearly" I wasn't needed.

You should have broken in afterwards to teach them a lesson. You knew the goods were unprotected!

Too cold couldn't be bothered.

Anyway security guards are in a kind of agency thing, so if you lose one job you pick up another one in many cases the following night, so I didn't really care.

The new job just involved watching CCTV cameras and I don't have to do any rounds, much better.
