the salary bastards are the ones that can leave whenever they feel like it and not worry about it.
This salary bastard is on call 24/7 and might have to go in at 3AM when a circuit or piece of equipment goes down... Or may have to pull several 14 hour days with no overtime. *cough* -- "This is a bus. You know how big a bus is?"
NetAdmin, Got to agree with you, since I was in the telecom business, during storms, floods, hurricanes, etc., life was extremely interesting, not to mention the occasional cut cable, either fiber or copper, which sometimes meant this salaried bastard got to work for more than 24 hours, with no overtime, while the technicians got time and half and better.
