We also have some standby rotations, but good thing is we have Singapore team, so standby gets over by 12!
But stay on devRant and time will pass easy! -
@k0pernikus even with extra money, sometimes you just gotta do it whether you want or not!

@-ScratchOs wtf, any context to post here? If you wanna post something on different topic create separate rant! 😑
@notroot nothing against ya! -
@yendenikhil so sorry I didn't realise I posted it here, I meant to create a new post

@linuxxx Actually that is not entirely true! Well, i say that but i believe the contract you have will say something similar like "you must answer the call within 20 seconds" or something. It is okay to sleep when you're "on call", but you need to make sure you wake up when the phone rings! This is perhaps one of those very few uses of a smartwatch that vibrates wildly in such case.

@NeatNerdPrime It's okay to go to sleep but there's a max of 3 hours between interruptions and solving them so I go to bed at 12 and have an alarm at 3 :/
The only thing I hate about being the on call/standby server engineer is that I've got to stay up until midnight.
Right now I'm tired as fuck, just want to go to bed but I'm doing server stuffs because I've got to stay up for more than two more hours 😩
I don't even mind setting an alarm for 3AM to check if there've been any disruptions because I'll fall back asleep like it's nothing but the forcing to stay awake...
Just one more night!
