You Know What's Fun?
"Fun" is exactly not when work calls you at 4:30 a.m. with a problem they should have called you about twenty hours earlier. It was too late for an easy fix when they did call -- and they were too short-handed to fix it promptly.

That I can sympathize with. I get similar phone calls on a fairly regular (1-3x per month) basis. Other times it's "If you had told me about this when it started, I would be ordering $500 in parts with a 1 week downtime instead of $3000 in parts with a 2-4 week downtime."
On the other hand, I get a small amount of pleasure telling customers "Gonna be a week before I can get parts. Run X until it blows; you're not gonna hurt anything else."

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."
