Not anymore.

For years I managed the group supporting credit card processing for a major processor. I was also one of the 2 senior architects of the software.

So for many years I was on call 24x7x365, even as a director I always took some off hours even at second level. The holidays were our number one critical days so I was always watching, the system notified me of ANY issue's even if the lower level support groups were working on the issue.

Then too for years I did plowing for the village as a backup driver (more a volunteer job although I did get paid), so if there were any storms possible, I had to stay dry and ready.

Thankfully I don't do either anymore.

Lost a lot of Christmas, New Years and even Super Bowl Sundays to one or the other, sometimes both.
