Then a little later in the week, it had to be moved again for her recital which in this case, was held in a Catholic church fairly close to the university. She had a friend who furnished the vehicle, a Suburban, but I still had to furnish the equipment, tuning, etc. for the two moves. I guess I felt a little "put upon" but I just agreed to it nicely (I hope) and did it. Well, this morning I found a thank you card in my mailbox with a nice note written and a rather large denomination bill in it! Now, I almost feel guilty about the way I felt. :-) My feelings are, that we work for the university. Which means we work AT the university. If I am called on to work "off campus," I would consider that more or less private work, even if it is for the benefit of students and/or faculty. And especially if it involves moving pianos, harpsichords, recording equipment, etc. So I think you were entitled to the money. In fact, I would have made sure there was not going to be any hard feelings, and let my policy be known up front. BTW, your situation would never happen here. There is a very strict policy that the harpsichords and the pianoforte are not to be moved out of the building, for any reason.
