On Call

Andy has been on call the past two weekends, once because it’s was his turn and the other because a co-worker did not want to be on call so badly, that he paid Andy $150 to carry the on-call phone.

Let me explain the on-call bit for a non-doctor. The “super duper important” customers that Andy helps sometimes need assistance on the weekend and in the two years Andy has worked at Microsoft, I think he’s actually helped someone twice on the weekend. So basically, he just hangs out with an extra cell phone in his pocket all weekend.

Now, let me say that Andy being on call is a huge WIN WIN for me! I know, it sucks maybe having to work on the weekend, but Andy can’t even commit to a round of golf when he’s on call. I’m totally selfish, I know, but having him stuck at home for the weekend isn’t so bad in my eyes!

The past two weekends of being on-call have proved successful for Project Nursery. Andy primed and put up the wainscoting in the baby’s room. And today we finished it up with nice coat of gleaming white paint.

It looks a little silly now without the chair rail, but that will be installed after we paint the rest of the room. And that will be done when we decide on a paint color. And that will be done once we find bedding. And that will be done once we figure out what we’re having!

So until then, 90% complete will do!
