Wait other people carry their laptop with them when they're on call? I just make sure to never be an hour away from my laptop lol (ideally only 15 minutes away but I won't reschedule anything)

I've been "on call" for over a decade.

If I go anywhere more than walking distance I take a laptop.

yeah it's shitty, but other than the CEO I'll be the last person to lose my job.

I'd rather hook into Wi-Fi/hotspot and work without making my whole family leave or be stranded somewhere just because I got a call.

My god I don’t miss that life.

I’m a stay at home dad now and sometimes they drive me crazy (right now actually. If I could kick the dogs out it would probably make my life easier. FUCK YOU MR. PISS ON THE FLOOR!).

Even when they drive me so crazy I feel like I’m about to have an aneurysm, life is easy mode compared to IT.

My Computer, Computer, and This PC ain’t my goddamn problem anymore. Woooooohooooooo!
