Rock Around the Clock

A business that stays open for 24 hours.

I need some smokes. Does 7/11 rock around the clock?

I already work around the clock!

An exclamatory statement made in anger when an already overworked person is asked to work even more.

Terrible actor from crappy trilogy about mummies:

"We can do this if we push ourselves, if we work around the clock..."

Over the hill actor from good trilogy about archeologists, but subsequently ruined by an over the hill director and aliens?!?:

"I ALREADY WORK AROUND THE CLOCK!!!"
