This week I have the emergency pager at work. This basically means I’m on-call after hours if another department should have a problem in the middle of the night. I am so paranoid that I’m going to miss a call, that I methodically check the pager every 10 minutes to make sure nobody has called yet.
What’s worse is that since the pager is supposed to be for 24-hour service, I’m also paranoid that I’m going to get a call while I’m sleeping. So, I have taken to sleeping with the pager. Of course I suppose that isn’t all bad, because I set it to vibrate mode and clip it to the front of my boxers.
I’m just kidding, by the way. You’d have to actually wear boxers to bed for that to work!
