Back in the early 90’s I once found myself working 111 twelve hour+ shifts in a period of 114 days…. During which time I lost 3 stone in weight….
At the end of the 114 days I had two weeks off before returning to my normal working pattern,,
I now look back on it as utter madness.  |

You must have been a salty sea dog working those shifts soxy.
If you enjoy your work its not as big an issue but there comes a point your health suffers ! |

"Do your employers not know about a 13 day work policy?"
They turn a blind eye to lots of things in here now and again they will tell you to have a day off though |
