Well I guess it’s almost time for me to have fun again. Tomorrow I pick up the pager for our group, and I expect nothing short of the end of the world :).

But then again I have my reputation to uphold. Prior to my current job I worked for a large telecommunication companies web hosting division. We had two folks on-call for all of our production servers, and I was one of those people. So every other week I got to deal with the issues from 100+ servers. The problem was every time I had the pager, the majority of the issues we had would occur. Thats not to say that my counterpart had no pain during his on-call, but primarily if it was broke it happened on my week.

This has followed me to my current job. It isn’t quite as bad as my previous job, but it’s still there.

But it keeps life interesting I guess ;).
