The hard part of this is that I'm "neighbors" with the Chiara String Quartet in our building and the pianist is the co-chair of the piano dept! :>( whaddyado?

I have apologized that I can't be available on short notice every time and missed a request because it conflicted with an established schedule. Mind-you, I'm not dependent on any of my large/small clients.

Today's full!! I know now I'll have to come in at 6am. (I know..boo hoo for me..I picked the job :>) I remember many times in the private world where wealthy folks throwing a huge Christmas party with hired pianist....and forget to get the piano tuned until a day or two beforehand...but this is rediculous! The Lied Center is a professional concert venue and they should know that I'm not there at the drop of a hat. What do they think I do...just sit around and write e-mails to my collegues?!?!?! This is a really nice Steinway B...but I haven't tuned it for two months! Maybe 5:30am would be a better idea? What have you folks done in these situations? Thanks for advice...
