I hadn't gotten one of these calls in quite a while, so this was a 
change of pace. It was in the afternoon, the guy was talking really 
fast, and wanted a piano tuned at a club who's name I missed in the 
torrent of syllables. I was already pretty hammered for the day, so I 
told him I'd lost interest in club work long ago. WHY!!! Well, the 
quality and condition of the pianos, access, noise level, getting paid, 
and working in pitch blackness usually. IT"S MY PIANO!!! IT"S A YAMAHA 
CP-80, AND IS FINE!!! So much for piano quality. IT MIGHT NEED SOME 
REPAIR!!! BUT IT"S QUIET AND ACCESSIBLE, SO WHAT"S THE PROBLEM????? Ok, 
I said, I'm done for the day, and out of town tomorrow. First chance 
I'll have is Friday.  AAUGGGGHHHH!!! Click.

Oh yea, I said to the dead phone, and club work is ALWAYS AN EMERGENCY!!!

Oh well...
