It's either a BORING job or your hours should be cut if you have that
much time to do something not in your job description.

I'm talking about any job... 24/7. If the people who maintain servers
have that much time on their hands, I'd be bored stiff if I had to do
it.

Get your nose out of the stratosphere. Working outside the 9-5
routine didn't make you a martyr. Having that much time to devote to
something not part of the job description would motivate me to find a
more stimulating job ASAP - but you chose an alternate route.

Stratosphere? Very odd choice of words.

So who is claiming martyrhood? Certainly not I. I loved my job.

What makes you think doing as one pleases as long as the job was done
isn't part of the job description? I am not sure what you're talking
about. I simply stated that maintaining news servers was an actualy job
position in some organizations and not all jobs are 9-5. I was not
directing it towards anyone specifically and certainly not myself.
