From what I've read with this thread, it still doesn't match the level of stupid that I did just yesterday, and it reminded me that I should share that level of stupid with the rest of you. New Client - New Piano - Warranty Tuning from the dealer - nothing out of the ordinary so far, right? Well, I had another appointment after that one. When I got to that next appointment, I noticed that my little brown bag that holds my tuning lever and rubber mutes was not in my tool box. Everything else was there except that bag. I looked around the piano I was presently at..thinking I MUST have put it down somewhere............. It didn't take me long to figure out that the bag in question was left behind at the last client's home. I may have left behind a mute or 2 on the plate in the past (isn't there a Mute-Sharing program in place?!?), but never the whole bag. It was clear across town (20 minutes each way - thank God it was Saturday or the time would have been more). I kicked myself for awhile, then I started laughing at my stupidity - how could I have left behind the one bag that would prevent me from doing my job? Here's my excuse: The owner of the home and I were talking as I was putting the piano back together - the owner happens to be a Boston Red Sox fan, and I'm not. I was cursed! -Phil Bondi(Fl)
