Being on-call has never made me sleep better at night!

If I know someone else is on call and he's competent, I can sleep better.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. I don't care if it's the Joint Chiefs and the whole United Nations calling me up to tell me an asteroid will destroy the planet unless I sign on [0]. If it's after hours, it'll have to wait until tomorrow, possibly Monday.

[0] Spoiler alert: it's not.
