    A long time ago, once, I worked for 18 hours, got 3 hours of sleep and went back to work for 10 more hours.
    It depends on the job and if there is a deadline coming up. If a sales clerk works for 12 hours, he is probably not chit-chatting and working. If a developer works for 12 hours, there is a possible deadline coming up and he is working his ass off to get the software ready for release. In some situations, it is possible that people do have some free time and can go and have a chat with someone during this time.
    Bottom line? It is entirely possible to work your ass off for 12 hours or more and sleep for just a bit.

    if you want more time to do nothing, you either get a job where you can't work while something is on the background and hope/pray they don't give you several workmachines to do more stuff(Programmer, graphic designer, etc) or you get a job from the gob...

    Is that or being lazy in a creative way (Hidding around or being efficient enough to do your work faster so you get more free time)...

    I work maybe 2/3 of my turn and 1/3 read novels on the cellphone, but then again I just gotta make shure my patients don't die while on the hemodialysis wich last 3 hours per patient ;3

    So i grab my chair and sit as close as i can to them after finishing my work with them (paperwork and drugs they must get) for those 3 hours

    Doesn't sound like my family doctor lol, she works like 6h a day. Though ER doctors do work overtime and other specialist doctors dunno, but more than 6 I guess.

    In my old line of work, it's already a norm for to work for more than 12 hrs when there's a case, going from 8 in the morning to 3-4 am, poring over documents and the whatnot. Not to mention, sometimes i need to work in holidays.

    Now, I'm working for 8 hrs a day with 3 hrs of commuting, but usually take around 3-4 hr of overtime a day since my job wouldn't be finished otherwise~~

    Have you thought about changing jobs? Because I think you work too much. To find a good job - you need to make a good resume.
    To do this, you can turn to professionals. Now there are a large number of services for writing resumes. Like this. Also on the site there are examples of resumes - if you do not want to pay, you can just see what format to choose for a resume and what data to specify.
