last summer i worked two full time jobs...i NEVER EVER recommend this to anyone. i would wake up at 5:30ish am and get ready for work and left around 6:15ish to get there at 7am and be on time. i worked til 3:30 and then with about a half hour break to change, i would head over to applebees to serve. every shift i worked at that store (i have since transferred) i closed. during the week we close at midnight so it would be close to 1 before we would get out of there. then i would drive the 30-35 min drive home, change and get into bed around 1:30-2:00 am to wake back up at 5:30 to start it all over again.
i would sleep at the day job whenever possible. we had morning meetings that i would get about 10 min of sleep and then i would sleep on my 1/2 hr lunch break and my two 15 min breaks. i learned to drive half awake - this is VERY bad!! i even got pulled over one night because i really did fall full asleep behind the wheel and was swerving and the officer thought i was drunk. opps...
i personally think that serving is one of the most demanding jobs ever. i got home last night and wanted to cry b/c my back hurt so bad.
so...as a result of not sleeping like i should have been, i ended up getting really really sick. the week where i worked 101 hours is the week i decided that it wasnt healthy anymore. i told my one job that i "picked up a class" so i could come in at 10 instead of 7.
so yeah...i definately think there are limitations for your body. you just need to know when to quit!!
