I have had to carry a pager before and been on call. I have never been in a place where so many things break that you are up all night for a week and expected to come to work the next day. Users can do whatever they want in production so there are lock issues many times a day. Users can run whatever queries they want so you have long running sessions that need t be killed. The on call person has to monitor the application too. The applications(there are about 20 of them) have a crash 5-10 times/day and all night.

anyone ever been in a place like this?
