Summary

Katie Newland reflects on how her spouse's on-call responsibilities, particularly with the use of PagerDuty, impact their relationship by often taking precedence over personal time and commitments. Despite this challenge, she acknowledges the indispensable role that PagerDuty plays in her spouse's professional life, ensuring issues are promptly addressed and resolved. She humorously describes the competition for attention between herself and PagerDuty, likening it to a rival lover continually present in their marriage. Although the constant interruptions can be frustrating, Katie has come to accept and even support this aspect of her spouse’s work, recognizing the importance of his contributions to his team and the critical nature of his role. While she occasionally struggles with feeling second to PagerDuty, she remains proud of her husband's dedication and achievements in his field.
