So, work are sticking some new system in and it's gonna probably need 24/7 support.

PROS: Good money offered, which is always helpful. Not much chance of late night/early morning calls apparently. Will mostly be triage to an external supplier so piss easy. One week in four.

CONS: I like my sleep. Toddler. Not wanting to plan weekends/evening around support. Don't really need the money currently.

What do you groovy fuckers think?

I have now done both those things and am not any happier.

Thanks Cook'd and Bomb'd.

Sleep is the only true respite. No matter how bad things are, there is sleep*

Also, what kind of support? If it's IT based, wake up, put headset on, 2 mins later go back to sleep, perhaps that's a tad different.

I think the most important thing is to make the decision that's right for you.

Yeah this, I won't have to do anything where I need to think or move much.

Could you do it for a trial period and if you find yourself struggling step down?

Just for reference, was this "bum a dog'?
