Why are so many of us on call? Do we really matter that much? I guess there are a bunch of bad-asses around here. My day also started with a phone call at 5 AM. It's not the early wake-up that bugs me, it's the unexpected randomness of the call.

Though, that might change when my programs first go out into the field
Until our support desk is trained in our new program, I hear that the customers will actually talk directly to the engineers

You could also train some to answer some of the "basic problems" if any.

I was just trying to make an office space reference (a stretch, I know) about customers taking specs directly to the engineers etc, etc...
