It's been now 24 hours since I arrived yesterday at work and I'm only about to leave now.
24 fucking hours working. Fuck this industry.That is all.

If Jesus existed I wonder if he'd find it amusing how his name is used in this day and age.

Go home. Have a good sleep.
Wake up, phone into work and tell them that your body clock is all-to-fuck because of having to work the 24 hours stint and that you need more sleep. Go back to sleep. Go back to work when you feel you are ready, phone in sick another day if need be.They won't ask you to do a 24 hour stint again after that as it loses them working hours in the future.
There's absolutely NO POINT in doing a solid 24 hours. Your brain is mince at the end of it. You're better grabbing yourself some sleep during the time - your productiveness will be so much better.

"So yeah, Jesus does pretty good over here. But I met a guy who said he saw him hitchhiking by the side of the road in Afghanistan and nobody was stopping to give him a ride. You know? It all depends on where you are."

Been quite a few years since I did a 24 hourer for someone else.
Been only a few months since I did one for myself.
*shrugs*
As long as you get compensated for it (and you don't get expected to do more as standard!) — it's all good.
Work just needs to get done sometimes.

Would Jesus Work So Fucking Late And Long?

This is not the norm here, just happened because of a big presentation, I have very good relationship with my employers and one of them is in the same boat as me and another colleague.
I will be compensated, in fact I'm ordered to compensate. i'm not whining about it, still it's 25 fucking hours and counting, probably another half hour or something.- less posting more work!fadein11

Couple of weeks ago I did a 36 hour stretch in work with 1 hour sleep on the couch and 1 hour to go home and have a shower.
To say I was a zombie is putting it mildly.

Jesus Fuck is different from Fuck Jesus...

Doesn't sound like it's a regular issue so maybe just suck this one up and take a personal day or two off.
If it was a regularity it would be signs of a much bigger problems, ie: piss-poor process, project, account, client management, etc.
Although, whenever faced with what looks like it could be an all nighter i often remind myself and my peers of this: Is your client losing sleep over this project too? Probably not. So go get some fucking sleep.

They say that if you've been up for anything past 34 hours, your brain changes. Creates damage even and you won't be the same.
Take care of your mind/body man. No work is worth "pain and suffering." Effort yes but pain... not so much.

- Ahhh, found it, from "A Better Tomorrow". Kind of ironic, QBN's tagline and all. http://www.youtube.c…elahon

...expectations management anyone?
..or was it a case where something had an unseen complication and the deadline stayed...
...or was there some needed stuff that showed up at the last minute in not quite the right format and you had to do a marathon of brainless tweeking to make the deadline?
Anyway, I had a situation once where the website announcement had been printed on all sorts of posters everywhere, advertised, etc and the clients IT department database integration stuff was insanely slow and in a wrong format, so we had consecutive allnighters trying to fix this, when it could have been handled by suit to suit negotiations earlier, but that's another story...

One other thing.. I have what I call the 4am brain-mess, where I tend to do something horribly wrong that I thought was right at 4am, then figure out I messed up at about 6am... then spend the next 3 hours trying to undo it and figure out what I messed up, so I've taken to simply stopping at 3:30 am no matter what, sleeping at least 2 hours and starting again if this happens...

years ago, when i worked in advertising, stuff like this generally happened at least every other month....
thankfully we had a decent couch at the office to sleep on...
but generally it was: work all night, maybe around 5 or 6am grab 2 hours of sleep on the couch...then by the time 9am rolled around, back to work...just part of the deal of working in that particular office....
it sucked. but that's life.
not the kind of thing i'd do now, but in my early 20's it seemed like it was just the way work went sometimes....i now, of course, realize it's more to do with the fact that people in their early 20's can be manipulated into doing all sorts of stupid shit like that....try asking a 40 year old with a family at home to stay all night at the office....prooooobably not going to happen....
