Does your work call you at 0530?

I've been working 50 hours a week lately and today was my day off. I stayed up late last night hanging out with my husband. This morning at 0530 my phone started ringing loudly and I thought someone had died or something (I didn't really know what time it was at all). It was work calling to see if I could come in at 0700 because they were short staffed. I said "no, I stayed up very late last night." So then I had trouble getting back to sleep.

They call me ALL the time during my days off, but this was a first. I don't want to just turn off my phone because I'm worried about a real family emergency. I'm thinking of emailing my manager and politely asking her to not ever have me called at that hour.

My home phone is through the computer, and it has programmable down time. Mine doesn't even come on until daylight. I can over ride this but I don't. I also have a cell. But work does not have that number. Very few people have that number in fact.

If I got called at 0530 at least I would know that I had work.

I use my cell phone as the only number I ever give out to work. I protect my home number at all costs...unlisted, caller ID, registered on every no call list possible, and NEVER given out to someone who doesn't have a darn good reason to call me. You really are family or friend if you have my home number.

Work and business contacts get the cell number with their own special ringtones. At night, its set to vibrate or silent and I let it drop to voice mail.

This way, I protect my family from the constant calls, and I have control over the ringing.
