In my last job, I worked eleven hour shifts, with a one hour lunch/dinner break, and a couple of fifteen minute breaks. From the beginning of my shift through the end of my shift, I was constantly using my brain to solve problems and to assist others with their questions.
Often, I assisted others while on my breaks. Once in a while, I heard others make excuses for having made mistakes because it had been a long day. I always said, "I got here about eleven hours ago. How long ago did your shift start?"
I am better than average at most of the things that I do. I am very good at judging my performance after having worked for long periods of time. When people say, "When playing long hours
you don't really know how well
you are playing," They should say, "When playing long hours
I don't really know how well
I am playing" Because it sounds like they are judging other people's competencies based on their own experience.
I have played poker for twelve or more hours with minimal breaks, and I played great. And, if the need were to arise in the future to to the same, I look forward to doing so.
