Sorry for the length between posts. I haven’t been on call now for quite a few days, probably 2 weeks. This is the longest i’ve been off call in months.

It isn’t that simple.

I have arrived at that point in my career in general, and this job in particular, where even off call doesn’t mean I won’t get called back into work. Last night I had 2 seperate calls in the period of an hour, and about 5:30 this morning I had to get up and help with a Codec problem at our Hurricane Katrina relief drive. I have been going ever since.

Our big news-talk FM is on generator because the junction box that supplies commercial power had a meltdown. We are down to about 38 hours of fuel left, and what great timing with the fuel price increases.

So even though i’m not “on call”… don’t let that fool you. I still have to go whenever the phone rings. But also don’t think i’m tore up about it. This is the most fun job on the planet 99.9% of the time.
