I am in banking and support applications for debit cards and fraud. Usually it is quite but when I get a call I normally have 2 hour resolution time. Normally just inform my backup and continue game

Why not just have that go straight to your backup?

Umpiring does not take a back seat to your day job. You would not like it if you were the backup and the calls started going to you would you? I have since changed departments which will make my day job a little easier as far as oncall coverage is concerned.

Never.  My focus is on the game, not who is texting/calling/Facebooking/Umpire-Empiring, etc. me...
