I found this lovely meme on reddit that is completely unrelated to this thread.

I guess it depends how he's defining "on call". If he's on call, paid some kind of "on call" rate, not allowed to get drunk, not allowed to leave cell coverage etc... 24/7/365 then, well frankly apart from possibly being illegal he must be incredibly depressed and bored!

I'm not even sure surgeons are on call 24/7 365 days a year

Well, in theory I'm also 24/7 on alarm duty, although I can just walk to HRM department if I want a replacement because of vacation for example; If I forget to do that, it's my responsibility to handle the phone calls and make sure somebody will check why there is an alarm, even if I'm on vacation and I forgot to arrange a replacement;

I can't imagine they are forced to have 24/7/365 availability, I can imagine it's his own responsibility to make sure someone else is available if he isn't.

I just assumed he meant that if he's off on vacation somewhere and there's a major breakdown of the game servers, he can  get in touch with home base, then use a smartphone to post on the forums, FB, and Twitter about the situation for the edification of all.

• Assuming the forums are up
  
• Assuming somebody called somebody else about this and they're able to assess the situation
  
• Assuming the FB/Twitter feeds are accessible
  
• Assuming the power in the area is not completely down...

Boy, we're all gonna be fucked if we ever do get hit with the EMP envisioned by doomsday prophets, aren't we?
