<HTML>My esteemed cologues Up to now, I would consider attending recitals and concert in the music depa= rtment one of the most enjoyable perks of working for the university. I enjo= y listening to the piano I just got done prepping, making mental notes on ev= en the slightest imperfect sound. Even though I am not required to attend the recitals and concerts, and even = though enjoy going to them, I do more or less feel like I'm "on the clock." = I've never been needed during a concert to take care of an emergency, (excep= t for the "non after ring problem I described recently), but it is still nic= e to be there, just in case. Before I took this job, one of the list members told me that he charges the = university time and a half for "after hours" work. In other words, if he is = called to do a tuning on Sunday, and it takes him 3 hours, including travel = time, he will take off for about 4.5 hours during the week. That seems fair.= After all, if one of the secretaries was asked to come in on Sunday for 3 h= ours, you can bet she would charge the university time and a half, in either= real pay, or take that time off during the week. So here is my question. Do any of you consider yourself as being "on the clo= ck," when you go to concerts and recitals, even if you are not required to g= o, but do so any way, just in case, or as I do, to enjoy it, and to evaluate= and listen to potential problems with the piano?
