I soon learned that this is akin to living in hell. The duty officer is assigned a satellite phone and handles every single call or problem that crops up after hours--which, since Moscow is 9-12 hours off U.S. time, is about a call every fifteen minutes, all night long, for a week. I only learned later that the duty officer is supposed to get the duty week off regular work, since it is difficult to stay awake for a week straight. No one bothered to mention this to me--including my boss and my co-workers!Yarnhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625926254864861603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414839550252232798.post-90799493692946982952007-09-14T12:09:00.000-04:002007-09-14T12:09:00.000-04:00TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS.....PLEASE!!!!!TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS.....PLEASE!!!!!sophannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571217197138831872noreply@blogger.com
