So according to you I should get fired. The problem is, I am paid to be available. Yes that's right, I am paid to be available, the nature of what I do the work can not be predicted, it comes when something happens, so when everything is going smoothly I don't have anything to do, if something happens I have to respond to it immediately. The expertise I have in my field is what allows me to get the pay I do, the nature of my field is what dictates my work habits.

What was this thread about again?
