Being available for work is part of my "human experience." edit- I really don't understand why this is downvote worthy...

  Because it is pathetic. You're available for work while at a Chris Rock show?

    ...pathetic, thanks. I work freelance film production. I get calls for work at random hours and if I don't respond quickly that offer can expire. I also work on high-pressure, quick turnaround jobs a lot, and part of the deal as a freelancer is that I'm always available. As a result, I keep my phone with me. I'm sorry that my earning a living is pathetic to you.

      Apology accepted.

    You've never worked a job where you might be called in during an emergency? We're in a forum full of sysadmins and devops people and this idea is foreign?

      Sysadmins and devops people usually have a standby rotation.
