Now don't get me wrong the pay was great, since I was crediting 100+ hours each month, but it burns you out quick! If I was senior enough or we had adequate staffing and worked half my reserve days each month, that would be another story. That's how it was at the very beginning of the year, but it all changed quick.
And you should expect to work every reserve day you ever have. That is why you are being paid: To be available to work. If you happen to not get called one day, then take it as it is: An unexpected day off with pay. The only time you should expect to go home is when your reserve period ends.

As far as being bugged on your day's off, well that happens to line holders too.
