Wow, I didn't know on-call support is that secretive nowadays. I remember I always told my friends when I was on call that week.

Thank god no one asked me if I was on call or I'd have to kill them if I told them!

Sounds like you and I are working for the same company, or the same subsidiary of said company. Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 sound familiar?
