Bwahahah! Sucker! Seriously, who WANTS to work that hard? I once worked 6 days a week, 12 hour days for a month or so, but I was fabricating Baja trucks, and our soda machine was full of beer. If you're going to go all out, do it right, have fun.

karoshi- to work to death.

The scary part is that he was only working about 80 hours a month overtime.
Which equates to about 18 hours a week. I know people who do that and then
some on a regular basis...

I am in amazement that Zap found this in the Daily Herald. I still read this daily online. This is all news from the suburbs of Chicago.  

That is sad, but like Rob said, and I agree, there are people who work more then that.  Cough, cough, my husband, cough. lol.    Some people can work like that and some people can't.

No one ever laid on their death bed saying "Gee, I wish I had spent more time at work"
