Volunteered for the on call rotation nobody wanted and learned the system faster than any ramp up doc could've taught me

Rotation had a reputation for being rough, low volunteer turnout, so I put my name in mostly to get visibility. First page at 2am for a service I'd never touched was terrifying, but three months in I understand how half our infrastructure actually connects in a way the official onboarding docs never got close to. Would still rather have slept through some of those pages though.
