Someone tell me what job is on call 24/7, because I don’t believe it exists. If it did you could never have a drink, leave your house, or commit to anything taking more than 30 minutes.
Unless we’re talking about being on call for a couple days straight, like a physician, but op didn’t say that.
Just because you are on call doesn't mean you are going to get called.
A lot of engineering and IT jobs have people that are on call 24/7.
Strange that people think that it is unusual.
My friends and family are full of engineers and IT professionals, we are all pretty much on call 24/7.

So she’s a stick with a bit of fat on her chest?
You aren’t being truthful here. That’s not cornfed even by your definition.

Right, but you need to be ready to work at a moments notice. So if you’re drunk at a three hour concert you can’t respond to the call. Your IT friends are not on call 24/7.

Ah, there it is. What’s your actual on call schedule?

Had a few friends and relatives on freight train crews. Once they were home for 8 hours, they were subject to being called in at any time, and they better answer the phone or they’d not be employed much longer.
Totally destroyed any drinking life except when on vacation (4 weeks a year), when they stayed drunk 24/7.

So they were completely on call 24 hours a day for 345 days a year? No.

A lot of people in the medical field are on legit 24/7 duty part of some weeks. It rotates, so it’s not overly burdensome. I know several people that do this. They are paid extra to be available so they can be at the hospital within an hour. You know the days you are assigned, it’s not hard to avoid alcohol and plan your evening accordingly with a back up plan in case you’re called in.
Really not a tough concept.

Exactly, part of some weeks, as in they work some days and are on call a few days, but then they have days off too. OP is suggesting he’s on call all day every day. That’s not true.

We have primary on call, and secondary on call.
Secondary is only called if there are multiple major issues occurring at once, and primary can't handle it all.
If you are secondary you are usually not hit.
And yes, it pretty much eliminates alcoholics from these positions.
And yes, even when I am on vacation they expect you to take your laptop and be available in case of emergency.
I have been called while on vacation numerous times.
Is it annoying? Yes
Do they compensate me well for this? Yes

So you can never leave the state?
Posted on 7/15/22 at 11:02 pm to Chucktown_Badger
Astronauts? Ship Captains? I am sure they exist, but you’re right, no matter what, it’s some sort of temporary.

Exactly. No one is on call 24/7 every day of the year except for their couple weeks of vacation.
Maybe the President of the United States, but I doubt OP is the potato.

This right here. Don’t worry bro, the more you just say no, the less she’ll expect.

I said that anyone who was thin/hot with C/D cups we would refer to as cornfed, meaning that she was thin but had nice breasts.
She's 5'8" 120lbs with C cups, and smoking hot.
This was a term that me and my friends used in high school for hot girls with nice breasts.
Lighten up.
Sorry if you are with a fatty.

I would go since it does not conflict with an LSU game.
Posted on 7/15/22 at 11:10 pm to Hawkeye here
If she makes you go, just tell her you’ll put it in her butt and then just walk away.
I am sure it will go well.

Not reading this entire thread. Here's the advice of a guy married 20 years...
You're single. S I N G L E. "Girlfriend" is not a legal bond. You only put up with what you're willing to. If you're honest about that you'll make you and her happy. If you can't do those types of things, let her go to find someone who can. You'll be happier in that case as well. Go find someone with similar attitudes as you.
