Hi Mark, Why would they know that? Just book at the times you have--it may even work to your advantage--no one wants a tech that is not busy! I had an interesting reaction when I first got a cell phone. A teacher phoned and I answered, we made an appointment for that day as she was having a sticking key problem (g4 actually) and I was able to squeeze her in between two bookings, before she was to teach for the day. Her husband said to her "He must not be a very good tuner--as he was home answering his phone". The only reason I found out this story is that the cell phone rang while I was fixing her "sticking" key, and the "lights" went on in her brain. In this case, at least, being "too available" was seen as a detriment to my abilities as a tech.
