I keep critical applications running at work that thousands depend on. While I was at a union convention, one of my apps broke. I had to login that day and fix it while going over the budget with other members.

This is how the IT world is. I'm the only person capable of maintaining it and I must be available if things go wrong. The show must go on.

Most IT positions are salary so this makes sense and is reasonable for critical systems. If you're not salary, yikes.
