          Most people here have pagers...

          I don't hav e a pager (I could probably look into getting one), so I stay here at the lab during the 8 hours I am on call (in addition to my other work).

                  The communist way is to switch off your mobile phone and to pretend the battery is empty.

                    The communist way is to sell the battery and components of your cell phone for food. And still pretend to be getting calls.

                      If the security alarm in the vault at my office goes off in the middle of the night then whoever lives closest to the base (i.e., me) gets called in to open the vault for the security folks. Fortunately, the most sensitive thing we have in the vault is an old box of Fortran 77 user manuals, so, go figure, nobody has ever tried to break in.

                        I'm on call 1 week in 3. This is my week. Fortunately only 1 person can call me in, if anyone pages me besides the nursing supervisor I ignore it or call them and ***** them out for not going through channels.

                        I also carry a cellphone, but it won't wake me(re: Mrs. Tubes) up when it goes off.

                        ACK!

                          I've avoided pagers quite well.
                          I only turn my cell phone on a few hours every year.

                          But I've been on many call list since I've managed data centers and call centers.

                          My favorite was getting a call from a regional data center telling me i was the the call list manager that week. I hadn't worked for the company for over 6 months. They explained the problem, and fortunately I was able to resolve it for them. They laughed and said the call person usually can't help them and just refers them to someone that can.

                          They sent me a real nice thank you letter and verified that I had been removed from the call list.

                              Tubes doesnt realize that he himself wakes me up when he is called out. He makes it a poit to wake me to tell me he has to go to work, as do i wheni am on call. I do not carry a beeper, i used to but i felt a cell phone was suficient. Only difference between our call in is that i am usually gone for 6 to 8 hours or longer to where he is gone from as little as 5 to 10 minutes.
                              Even as nurses, with this hospital, we only get 2 an hour to carry the beeper, but we do get time and a half when we are called in. For my call it is one day a week for 16 hours and one weekend a month. And i hate it

                                I can't think of any person I know who is on-call.
