good god, yes, ground rules. OR turn off your phone at night. That's ridiculous, it's not like people are dying or something!

Turn off the phone.
Go to the store.
Buy a real alarm clock.

+1 for Zen!

You have a JOB. You're not a slave. Since you are paid hourly, start keeping a time of how many minutes you work when you're not at work, and add them to your timesheet. It's illegal for him to expect you to work for free.

If he's getting the "going rate" for IT, find out if that includes being on call 24/7 or not. Many IT people are; I've got more than a few systems administrators as acquaintances. Maybe put an after hours clause in the contract.

And yes, a sit down, we-are-professionals here chat sounds like it's in order.

I see you are paid hourly. Do you guys have any kind of contract or written job description? Are you employees or contract laborers? Under or above the table? I ask the last because as a small business owner, I know that is it as expensive as hell to have above the table, bonafide employees.
