My Turn With The Beeper

It's Monday and just before 8:00 this morning, I got handed the team beeper. That signified that I am officially on-call 24/7 for any issues that may arise on the data warehouse world for this whole week. Yes, that includes both Staurday and sunday too. I wasn't looking forward to this duty but once every eight weeks isn't really that bad compared to the previous jobs I had where it was 24/7 for the whole year and was pretty much a thankless job. Over here, you are appreciated.

I got on my first case this morning and got it closed right away. Not bad and I'm hoping no other big thing will pop out at me this week especially the ones that happen in the middle of the night. (*knock on wood*) I'm going to take it easy on the other projects on my plate for this week just in case. That way, I won't be in the middle of something big when a "big" thing comes out to eat up my time.

So far it's been quite and have enjoyed two cups of coffee without being majorly interrupted. Now, that's what I call a nice morning. I'm getting hungry though. Hopefully lunch will just creep up on me so I can go down and enjoy my sandwich in peace. Ham sandwich and jello, now what could be better than that? Okay.. everything else. lol

Oh well.. as they say, one day at a time.
