For the millennium rollover I just went into the office on the 1st Jan to check everything, nobody was due in to the office until the 4th anyway. Nothing much to report, as expected. Bit of a bonus, £250 I think.
Better was when our company was taken over and the systems moved lock and stock to the new sites. After their training and handover, they did DR testing before golive. I had to be available for 2 weeks in case any questions came up. Didn't even have to go into the office, just wandered round entertaining myself and living in a hotel by the sea carrying a phone. Brought the family down for a holiday and got paid for every hour away.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
