I am now working 60 hours or more a week 6 days a week. I may be dying...... I love each and every one of you.
In all seriousness to go from doing essentially nothing all day and lying around in a vegetative state to this is killing me.
You must be killing it in overtime pay, which is always sweet. On the other hand, a 60-hour week is Khal Drogo level brutal, for which you have my sympathies.

Not the kind of job that logs overtime pay im a field director for a congressional campaign during a primary so just brutal hours and I operate on salary based pay. Plus my boss is my ride (im out of state) so I work as long as he works.

did 12hrs a day 5 days a wk for 2 years; nothing worse than cramping
You have my sympathy. I've just done the reverse, and it is, shall we say, sheer bliss! =)

Back in the 80s I did a whole year of double shifts. Nearly bloody killed me. Made enough to buy a new car though.
I remember my first day off. I dropped the little Apaches off at school, went home and then paced around the house, I literally couldn't switch off.
Would I do it again?
Not sure TBH.

Having to work to make money is one of the stupidest idea ever invented, right up there with marriage and alligator gars

Aye, comrade. Work is the curse of the drinking class.
