Hong Kong Express

…on my last night on call.

Got a call from tech support, but instead of them calling and asking me a question, they transferred a call through to me. They said it was an accident, but the customer was aware and the notes on the account suggested that the agent knew he was transfering a call. Bastard.

Followed by Telstra DSL outage at 1am.

FTP failing on one of our web servers sometime around 3.

Restoring the DSL customers between 4:30 – 5:45.

6:15 one of our peers went down. Got a call back from them at 6:45.

Came back at 7am.

There goes my night.

on call so far – i started primary oncall on Friday night for the first time.

It started out OK, one page at 6:50, quiet for a while then another informational page at 10ish. Then all through the night, lots of pages.

Tonight was the same thing, in total, i’ve received about 60 pages. Oddly enough, it only happens during the night time. During the day, I only had one page which resolved itself before I could even turn on my laptop.

lets see how the rest of the week goes.

After all this time you’re still asking questions, you love to fill me up with emptiness.
I’m a martyr in search of a party, I’m a lover in search of a quest.

I can see that you don’t want anything.
I can see sometimes you don’t want me.
Just love me the times that I need you,
I can say then that I am still free!
