Re: On-call??? - What Overtime
Last year I got a call. On News Years Day, hung over from the night before. Lying on the sofa, not really doing anything and the mobile goes.
It was someone I shall call Paul, because that's his name and I don't see why he shouldn't go unpunished. He wanted to quiz me about a problem that had occurred overnight when the clocks changed. One specific application I had something to do with was giving weird error messages.
At first I had no idea what he was on about. But. after listening to him cour a couple of minutes, I realised what he was on about.
"Err, Paul, you do know I was made redundant by the company, don't you?"
>> "Oh, really? When was that?"
"Three years ago."
>> "So, can you help me anyway, because your mobile is still in the on-call list".
I suppose I shoudl be proud that the app had run for 3 years with no calls required!
