Do you have a dispatcher or does someone just call your cell phone if they need you?

How prevalent is alcohol use among off-duty ATC's. My understanding is that high-paced radio dispatching work such as yours and also 911 call centers create workers more prone to drink it off in their spare time.

Is your job stressful? How do you cope with the stress in your free time?

Are there ever conflicts between pilots and ATC's over the air? By that I mean, pilots or ATC's being rude to one another over the air. I worked in private security dispatch and often times the officers were rude or short with me when they had a problem. How are these conflicts resolved?

Do you ever come across language barriers from pilots of international airlines? How are these conflicts resolved? Have you ever needed the services of an interpreter to do your job?

I like to listen to a live stream of ATC traffic against some chill electronic music. Which type of ATC feed would you say is the most interesting for this purpose (ie. ground, approach, ?)

Thanks!
