I'm on call right now. I can do whatever I want as long as I'm sober and able to log in within 15 minutes or be on site within an hour.
So I live my life, but I always need to have my laptop, charger and headset with me. A padded backpack is a lot more practical for that than a traditional laptop bag.

I usually did on call at night, other than that I fixed most by guiding over the phone to get them back running. I've only ever had to go in to fix something a handful of times, 9/10 times they're the ones that fucked up a parameter and I was more or less just a passive listener on the phone while they discovered their mistake by describingto me what they did.

I only had to drive in once due to loss of internet access.
Turned out Cloudflare was down.

I've been using a crumpler dreadful embarrassment for over a decade, padded messenger style that I use for work or trips for a few days/weekend, it was a bit expensive but it's been very durable if you prefer a single strap style.

I hate single strap, that's why I use a backpack.
