To me, the worst part of being on call is the stress _after_ my shift ends. I understand that it's a necessary part of the job to fix issues that occur during my shift, so I don't really mind it, but it gives me long term issues. I feel anxious whenever I don't have my phone on me, or when I'm far enough into the wilderness to lose my cell signal. Late night when I don't expect to be getting messages from anyone, a random notification can sometimes give me an immediate stomach-drop panic response.

Unfortunately I feel like I lucked into this role and if I left I wouldn't be able to find anything anywhere near as good.
