Look on the bright side: there's a pretty decent chance that it's an actual problem, and not some random Internet-weather false-alarm that will have gone away by the time you wake up to check it out, thus leaving you to wait for the damn up-page so you can go back to sleep and then get paged again.
...oh, wait. Didn't you say you got paged over sawmill? That increases the suck value somewhat, but it is still an actual problem requiring actual human poking.
(And if I'd remembered about the log-size impact of secondary-MX issues when I had a strange premonition on Saturday evening and discovered that state of affairs, instead of having it dawn on me only when I got into work on Monday to witness the fait accompli, I might even have prevented it. (Of course, there is also one who witnessed the underlying problem, and went poking about in the spools on Sunday, and did not do that thing either.))
