A few all-nighters but the worst was 9am - 5pm the following day back in 1998, then straight on to the red-eye to LA for E3... Never again.

I'm sure there were a few days back at an old job that I worked 16 or 17 hours once or twice. It wasn't fun, and I'm really glad I eventually moved on to a more sensible workplace.

At the agency I used to work at I once worked from 9am til 5am or 6am the next day. That was like 20-21 hours. I then went home for a short nap and came back at 9am and by noon my then boss just told me to go home and rest.
Was always doing a little over time there, but luckily she was a fair person and she cared to pay for any over time that was done.

38 hours straight, doing work for BBDO / AT&T pitch. Put a toll on me big time. In my younger years of course. Haven't done half that since.

- I'm wasn't an employee, a vendor. Rush fees...fyoucher1

Somewhere in the low twenties. Had to work with developers overseas on a launch after full day with stateside colleagues.
But once I managed to bill 28 hours within a 24 hour period. Part of the 20 hours spent on press for one client (all billable time while on press) was spent prepping another clients AR for the following week.

If I need to work 14+ hours to get something done then what does that tell you about the project/company/people? Fuck off.
