I was on-call, 24/7 with a pager. I do miss those times before cell phones,
as pay phones were common and pagers were a communications device for a
more civilized age. You paged someone, and you had to be engaged in the
issue. They'd call you back, you'd have a discussion, capture whatever
information was needed, and set an expectation of when something could be
fixed/resolved/etc.

Now, people send an email and assume the clock is ticking as soon as they
hit send, and they have their own expectation of how long it should take.
