Life of a Linux Systems Engineer

What's The Buzz
Written By Darla Baker

Does a linux systems engineer have a life? I'm up at 3am working. I was up from midnight to 1:30am working as well. I will get up at 6am to go to work for 10-12 hours. The rest of the time I'm monitoring system messages to make sure everything is working properly and responding to any issues that arise.

My family, when they can even remember what I look like, threatens to take my Apple iPhone away from me. All recent photos of me capture me staring at my Apple iPhone.

I've been doing this type of work for a very long time so I know this comes with the territory. I'm just curious to know what others in this field do to try and balance a home life with work. Is there a solution?
