The thing is, as a programmer, i would be strictly 9 to 5, no overtime (and if i worked from home, no biggie, i play on the computer as often as possible. my wife occasionally calls it the other woman...), and certainly no fucking weekends.


I still have to carry a godamn pager every 3 weeks and answer after-hours support calls. Usually dumbasses thinking that deleting all of their outlook contacts on their work computer from home is an emergency...(that really happened the last time i was on...)


I actually answered a call one night a few years ago. me and a bunch of guys from work were at a bar having drinks, when i get paged. So i listen to the message, and this dick was just checking the status of a trouble ticket he had put in earlier.

I called him back and gave him a royal ass chewing. Wanting to know if someone is going to check up on something woith your email tomorrow is NOT a fucking emergency....
