Evenings and weekends

[Conrad Hoffsommer]

Pianotechers,

As a college tech, _all_ my private tunings are nights and weekends, but
when I was much younger, hungrier and self-employed I recall that when
those Sat. tunings got to me, I would give myself "comp time".

As a rule I never did tune on Sundays, but I would put my Sat in the middle
of the week.  

Pick a day, draw a line (or a virtual line) down the whole day and write
"ME".  Lift lines at Camelback, Brandywine and Jack Frost were nonexistant
on Tuesdays, and tickets were cheaper.  Greens fees are cheaper, too.

Pick your own pleasure, but stick to your guns when the customers say the
_only_ day you could come is your "off" day.  Since you put your name down
for the day, you can honestly tell them, "I'm sorry, that day is already
booked."
