Wildest Intern weeks (hours)

What's the wildest week you had during your SA stint? In terms of hours and/or things that happened.

For me, it was during my 7th week when I cranked out 81 hours Mon - Fri. I had a deadline for a turn of a CIP on Wednesday and a pitch dropped on my team on Thursday. The analyst also had PTO on Friday..not ideal. I started to have dreams about the pitch I was working on lol so I was relieved when things went back to normal.

Omg, mine was the time I spent 9000 HOURS FROM MON-SUN MIDNIGHT working on a deck for an HR EVENT AT MY FORMER BUSINESS SCHOOL!

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.

Will update my computer soon and leave Incognito so I will disappear forever. How did I achieve Neanderthal by trolling? Some people are after me so need to close account for safety.
