it is amazing how many supers I have worked with never have a phone at the place they are staying. even though they can call you to tell you they are going to the boat and meet them at the blackjack table.
geuss they do not want the back shift calls.
I used have to call the PM evey time we had an ijury that went offsite. he wanted to know know matter what time it was.  those 2 in the morning calls were fun to make.
of course back at one site I was told two charge 2 hours every time I was called at home.

Test after test after test after test...

When I was an IT Analyst (i.e. computer geek) at Calvert I used to get called - well, beeped, actually - on occasion to fix software and hardware problems. As a tech I have never been called at home. I question the concept of waking someone up at 0-dark-30 and then asking if they can fix a problem. If you could fix it from home (remote access was great) that was good, but if you had to come in, then they asked if you were fit for duty. Wasn't sure how logging in from home was different from logging in at the site... or how you could be fit for duty after sleeping for 3 hours and being jarred awake by a beeper. Losing that leash they called a beeper was a major benefit of being RIFed.

It is usually to work overtime.  So really it doesn't bother me.  I only wish they could call more often for Sundays.

JnyMac:
Almost always for overtime.  Caller Id is great for that.  Usually means time and half or double time.  The ones you hate are when they start asking questions about something you did 3 weeks ago.  Did I screw up or break something.
