If you worked a regular 8 hour day, and was then required to be tied to a computer at home up until 11 p.m., you’d think that would suck, wouldn’t you?
If you were required to be online to do some maintenance work that was basically running one command at 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., you’d think that would suck, wouldn’t you?
If you had to take the on-call pager even though it’s not your turn just because the person who’s supposed to take it took a day off, you’d think that would suck, wouldn’t you?
Curses!!!

Great post! The 3 repetitions of “you’d think that would suck, wouldn’t you?” are llike something out of a presidential speech… except for the lack of an uplifting message.

The 11 and 2 thing wasn’t so bad because I fell asleep waiting; the vibrating of the pager was enough to wake me up when I was needed. Though yeah, the 8 hour+6 hour thing is going to suck donkey balls.
