Just got a call from work about something that went wrong. Well.. not wrong just “wrong.” Someone from a different functional area didn’t like how something was being done. So I get called to explain that in fact salt water is not growth promoting and we can hold it for a day. Anyone else deal with situations that could have been solved outside of work with “No just stop and go away”?

Not a huge deal but I don’t need to get 4 calls about it
Especially when we can just remake it

That’s so frustrating, I do experience this sometimes too but thankfully it’s pretty rare

Half of the calls I get after hours are from people who make silly mistakes that they should know better. Sometimes I feel flatter that I’m the only one that can fix it other times I feel annoyed at being bothered.

I tell them that lol. "Why are you calling me on my time off?" Resolves a lot of phone calls and prevents future ones. People are surprised by boundaries at first but they usually respect it moving forward.

That’s the part that sucks, I’m on call for this project, the annoying part is it’s been in campaign for years now so… I’m on call for years
