I often think that being on call is sort of a blessing because it makes you really, really appreciate ordinary peaceful uneventful day to day life in a way I don't think i would have without the contrast. Know what I mean? I mean, when I'm on call, every single morning after a night in which I didn't get called, my first thought when I find myself awaking to daylight is just gratitude. Gratitude that I got to sleep the whole night without being startled awake by one of those urgent phone calls. It's a wonderful way to start the day, with a heartfelt feeling of gratitude, but I never wake up that way except when I'm on call.
