I'm just curious Clyde. If you are booked up until March and still have =
folks calling wanting to get squeezed in, is it time to raise your =
standard tuning service call fee??? I should think these are conditions =
where that question becomes quite germane.

Still a bit envious!

  The short answer is, it is overtime if all of my appointments are =
full.=20

  If I add appointments after that, I am eating into time I designated =
as personal or for other responsibilities, and I am rarely willing to do =
that at the regular charge.  Maybe you all should know that I quit my =
last job because it placed too many demands on my time, so I am =
determined not to let that happen with this job.=20

  Incidentally, since writing the original post on this subject this =
morning, I added an extra appointment to tomorrow's already full =
schedule.  And yes, the client is fully aware that she is paying =
considerably more than the normal rate to get the fast service.=20

    As far as charging "overtime" for a new client who wants to schedule =
a couple of weeks in advance, I am not sure if I would agree to that. =
After all, what is considered overtime? We are self employed. We set our =
own hours. So what would be considered working overtime?
