[CAUT] re: weekend work, was "mind bender"

[Don]

Hi,

We sometimes forget we are artisans rather than artists.

Horowitz preferred 3 p.m. on Sundays for recitals. Would you presume to
refuse to service his piano?

I do realize that often University Techs are under paid and over worked.
The trade off is a paycheck that is stable and other benefits. However in
"private practice" I have been required to tune pianos at 2 a.m., which I
did quite cheerfully, and as it was a concert hall where I was the resident
tuner, there was no "extra" remuneration involved.
