Ouch some pain at google today then. I hate to wake up on a Monday morning to this.

Google has follows-the-sun on-call rotations for large rotations, so this hit the UK team just after lunch.
Ah so the rotation rotates to match the current rotation. Very smart.
I like the mental image of this being a very precise matching -- as the sun traces across the sky, the responsibility of on-call passes from desk to desk, town to town, country to country; two engineers on a boat in the Atlantic race to keep up with their rotation...
