What do you dislike/hate the most about your job?

I'm currently a Network Administrator for a MSP and I like my job overall. And even though I have to crawl under people's desk at times or deal with server rooms the size of a coat closet, I would say being on-call is the part I disliked the most.

I understand the need for after hours service, but we don't have a dedicated team to do that so we have to rotate the on-call shift among the handful of us. I can say that I feel disdain when the answering service calls and I am sure that they can hear it in my voice when I answer. I really should try to be more pleasant since they are just doing their job to deliver the message.

But for some reason, I get really stress out when I am on-call. I feel that my weekend, evenings and nights for that whole week is put on hold and I can't have a personal life since I have to be available when I get that call or e-mail. I got awoken at 7 AM Saturday morning and I pretty much ended up working until pass noon. I usually goto a car meet on Saturday mornings, but I learn that lesson the last time I was on call where I had to drive to several different places to find a free Wi-Fi spot after a client called in about not being able to access his e-mail from home. I ended up at the mall trying to troubleshoot the issue with all the people talking in the background. I think the worse part is getting those calls in the middle of the night. The ones that wake you up from a sound sleep only to be able to not go to sleep afterwards.

So what do you dislike or hate the most about your job?
