I tell my engineers - if you get paged off hours, however much time you spend resolving the issue, take that time back from the next workday.

I also practice what I preach - if I get paged at 3am and work on the issue until 5am, I’ll come in 2 hours late or leave 2 hours early.

It sounds like you’ve got a good manager, so hopefully they won’t hold that against you. This is the reality of oncall - it sucks!

When you get woken up in the middle of the night, of course you’re going to be more tired the next day. I’m the same as you - I can’t fall back asleep if its early morning so I normally just stay awake and am tired that day. You shouldn’t feel guilty for being at 1/2 capacity after working all night to solve your employer’s problems!

Christmas can be hard for some people. I hope those of you without your car keys, a good jacket, or a warm meal can find all of that in spades this season. ( lemmy.world )

“How much more appetizing food becomes when you add the word ‘log’!”

[Opinion] Why the Shirtless Man Shouting on the Street Isn’t in the Hospital ( southseattleemerald.com )

But not at UW Medicine, which operates a separate company, UW Physicians (aka Association of University Physicians), that uses the...

I doubt it will be anything more than drugging people to make babysitting them easier.

This is why we don’t lock up “the shirtless man shouting in the street” the first place.

We used to lock that guy up, and the places we put them were horrific. In the 70s, American society collectively decided it was better to let them back out on the street than to risk locking up sane people against their will.

Its a dilemma. We either funnel them into a horrific, underfunded system (our government will not realistically produce anything better), probably also catching a few sane people in the system along the way, or we let “the shirtless man shouting on the street” stay on the street.

Please move to Russia/China. We don’t do that in the civilized world. We’re better than that.

Edit: yes please downvote me for being against cruel and unusual punishment. Show everyone what kind of person you really are. I hope you get wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death so you can see how regressive your barbaric views are first hand.
