  • The main thing I ask about on-call is what the scope is and how many people are covering it.

    There’s one end where they have a kid who takes calls and literally 70% of them go to you, plus you are on call every other week because there’s only three on the rota and one guy quit/is on holiday.

    And then there’s the other end where there’s multiple on call teams and your team only gets called for very specific reasons, you are one of 5-6 people on the rota, on call bonus is massive plus 1.5*wage for every call out.

    Let us know how it holds up, I remember it as a kids book but maybe it’s better than that.

    I’m still reading the stormlight archive as per forever but also the secret barrister and just started asimovs foundation which has been on my list for years.

    I’m three quarters of the way through the stormlight archive after nearly a year! It’s superb but very very long. The dialogue and characters are actually worse than I expected but the story and world building is incredible. And there was recently finally an emotional moment for me.

    I’m also reading the secret barrister which makes the bottom of your stomach fall out with how sick you feel. This Tory government has taken something that was t working well and ground it into the dust so it barely works at all. Everything is to get cases processed faster instead of obtaining justice.
