Working weekends in this climate is leading the days to role into one... 12 days in a row felt like a month, the idea of working 19 days without a break filled me with dread and my brain just snapped. Anyone else struggling with the overtime work whilst in lockdown?
Sorry to hear OP. I used to be at an agency where our group had to work January 3rd straight through to March 12 without ANY weekend off. This was a number of years ago and I’ve never forgotten those exact dates.
