Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm not sure how many companies still use "pagers" aka "beepers", but this person is talking about the device you carry that would alert you when there is a problem with one of your systems. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=593535494&q=pager&tbm=...

Yes I know what a pager is but was surprised the word is still in use.

Pagers are still in use. They receive signals much better (UHF) than GSM two-way devices.

Merry Christmas !!!!!!

I'm taking a break today and playing call of duty all day long. Tomorrow I will go for a hike or a walk, and then 26th is back to the business/grind.

I hope y'all take a good time to rest.

I'm thankful for the folks who are working over the break. Thankful for the gas station attendants, the police officers, healthcare professionals, on-call engineers and customer support, and so many others to whom I am eternally thankful for making our society.
