On Call for 8/17/09 – 8/24/09

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic or sign up to my Email Newsletter.

I haven’t done one of these in a long time. This week I have been on call for work. Here is a little bit about work. I work for a hospital in Syracuse, NY. I am on call one week out of the month. This week was very busy for the on call person (me). I haven’t had a very busy week being on call and it was time for one of those weeks. I think it is great to have one of those weeks once in awhile.

8/21/09 – Got a Call at 4:30 AM but not my problem
8/22/09 – Got a Call at 9:51 AM but not my problem
8/23/09 – Got a Call at 2:06 AM but I had to stop and start a printing service
8/23/09 – Got a Call at 9:50 AM but this time I had to go in and put in loaner fax and printer equipment

How was everyone’s weekend?

Ah, the life of an IT guy. I was in the infrastructure group at a university until late last year, and yep – got paged all the time because of things totally outside my department’s realm. I know you were glad to hand it off to the next guy today!

Ohhh it was in the weekend, I thought it was during the week – well, then it sucks even more, to receive calls in the middle of the night like that.

If you’re not dealing with situations where peoples lifes are at stake, you should just set up an answering machine where the first thing being said is “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” .. then pause for a reply, then it should say “is it definitely plugged in?” – yes, I got that from The IT Crowd, great show

Not sure about my weekend yet, but I hope it’s nothing like the rest of my week was.

My phone didn’t stop once on Thursday or Friday, for at least 12hrs straight.
