He is right on. If the Feds had simply broken up the Availability Policy/Attnedance Guidelines, I'd be able to lay off when I felt I really needed it. I haven't had mandatory RSIA rest in over a year because of how they like to look at counting work days.

It's not the lifestyle that's irritating, it's the incompetant meddling by governments and patronizing senior management that is often the"root cause" of the mess. Getting someone to return multiple voicemails with a comptetant answer is just icing on the cake.
