Ahhh first day of oncall today at work!!! Excited but nervous. Which prob means nothing will happen until Saturday when it's the most inconvenient time lol. No idea why that is.

In my clinic, it's as you wish. You need to realize it comes with lots of energy, discussions, managing all sorts of pre-D AKI cases: Cr of 3-4, but as oncall nephrologist anticipate they'll have poor kidney prognosis, we admit them in our clinic (pick ur non-nephro-, non-surgery pathology) #NephJC

Nothing like being OnCall and puking your brains out. 10/10 combo 😑

the good news is that i have taken so many oncall shifts that my next one isn't until Feburary or something, and we get a bunch of days off surrounding Christmas so I think I have one full week of work left until the new year teehee.

If anybody still has a USENET archive, I made a fairly epic 2-page rant in ASR after spending an entire oncall weekend less maybe four hours of under-desk naps some time in 1999 or 2000 replacing planar boards in AIX RS6000s.

TLDR summary: all hardware sucks, all software sucks.

I also know betterstack.com (with better uptime which implements the OnCall). I believe they are Europeans as well (headquarters based in Prague)
Better Stack - Observability Meets Incident Management
AI-native platform for on-call and incident response with effortless monitoring, status pages, tracing, infrastructure monitoring and log management.

Yeah you can choose to deploy it somewhere else in Europe :) but don't worry I understand the need to have a ready to use SaaS that doesn't require custom deployments you have to monitor to observe your platform. Maybe OpenStatus which is open source (don't know if they implement the OnCall)

Sorry I wan’t clear 🙏 our main design is to have everything internally then to have 2 things : one external receiver for alerts (including basic health check to avoid not receiving alerts in case of major disaster) and one provider to manage oncall schedule (with an API) and call routing

It's harder to grind out the tokens when you're oncall. 😢

The work environment has changed so much just in my short time in IT work.

1st job - desktop PCs, CRT monitors, desk phones

2nd job - two desktop PCs, LCD monitors, desk phones

3rd job - desktop + oncall laptop, blackberry phone

4th job - laptop, dock, flatscreen, no phones (12 yrs ago)

3 different meetings, one with my manager, another with my leads and one with apps devs....guess what they all said in common

"think its time you should be a senior tech"

I wouldnt mind it if not the fact the oncall is a requirement and its not schedule...I like to sleep alot

呃,忘记发“上班”了。
总之:oncall,启动!

How did I get here? A long surrender in the same direction. Many surgeons will have a similar journey of 12 hour days 6 days a week plus additional oncall, research, exams, supervisions, conferences, presentations, etc. #surgeon #surgicallife #surgery #ENTsecrets

After crunching for months on straight, delivering multiple features in time for re:invent, I can finally sit back and reap the rewards... Oncall shift 😩
