First Week of On-Call

October 19th, 2009

Came and went without much action too speak of. Only real issue I had to deal with was Saturday morning into Saturday afternoon for a customer in California. Cause of issue, power outage, time to actually get someone out there to fix it, 7+ hours. I pretty much just had to babysit this issue all day and was able to do so from my couch while watching T.V.

Part of me wishes my first week could have been a little more hectic and challenging so I could have gotten it out of the way. My first week was WAY too easy and totally not how it normally is from what I’ve heard from the other engineers here at work. Christmas will be my next time on-call so I guess I’ll see what that week holds in store for me.

Dreading On-Call

October 5th, 2009

Next Monday yours truely goes on-call for the first time.

To put it mildly, I’m fucking terrified!

I just know some huge shit is going to go down that I have no idea how to fix and i’ll end up having to call someone to help me. I deal with outages and issues everyday but something about getting woken up at 2am and expected to figure out why nobody can make outgoing calls or why some hospital can’t send X-rays is a totally different story.
