Wait other people carry their laptop with them when they’re on call? I just make sure to never be an hour away from my laptop lol (ideally only 15 minutes away but I won’t reschedule anything)
I’m a stay at home dad now and sometimes they drive me crazy (right now actually. If I could kick the dogs out it would probably make my life easier. FUCK YOU MR. PISS ON THE FLOOR!).
Even when they drive me so crazy I feel like I’m about to have an aneurysm, life is easy mode compared to IT.
My Computer, Computer, and This PC ain’t my goddamn problem anymore. Woooooohooooooo!
I generally do the same. It doesn’t have to be my work laptop, mind you, just a laptop. Usually my personal laptop.
As long as it’s in a reasonable walking distance from me, I’m good. Eg. If I go out for dinner, I’ll toss my bag in the car and I’ll leave it in the car unless I get a page.

I’d rather hook into Wi-Fi/hotspot and work without making my whole family leave or be stranded somewhere just because I got a call.
My god I don’t miss that life.

I’ve been “on call” for over a decade.
If I go anywhere more than walking distance I take a laptop.
yeah it’s shitty, but other than the CEO I’ll be the last person to lose my job.
I spent a decade on call.
The last few years, they would call and call and call…
I wouldn’t answer though
