Yeah, like the one I had today. I ended on pitch raising and tuning a Fazer piano for a relatively good acquaintance of mine. He´s very young, 21 :) and his girlfriend just had a baby two months ago. They´re both in school and he gets student loans which are the equivalent of five pitch raises and fine tunings a month. I decided to charge 5000kr for a 10500kr job. He only had 4500 on him, so we decided on sharing a beer someday, his treat. A very pleasant visit with lots of coffee drinking. When I got home I noticed a thingy on my windshield. A PARKING VIOLATION! Too close to a cross-walk MY BUTT! The fine was 2500kr. 4500kr - 2500kr = 2000kr ($25). FEMALE DOG! DUNG! INTERCOURSE! I´m going back there tomorrow to inspect the situation and decide on further action.
