Yup, it's not for everybody. I don't have a ****** life so on call was no big deal. And I worked for companies where even if slow during the day, I was at the house. In fact, that was my deal, if they wanted me to work for them, they knew I'd work 48 hours straight if needed to and I have but I damn sure not going to sit around your yard with my thumb in my ass not getting paid. Some days I'd stay at home till Noon then work til 2 or 3 am and back up at 5am to roll a few calls then back home by 7 or 8am back to bed and up again about 1 or 2 for the afternoon rush. In short, I only worked when the wheels went round and round. You can hire idiots to warm the sofa in the break room.
