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. </BLOCKQUOTE> Clyde I can certainly agree with your assessment. But I have a question for you. Have you ever found yourself done working before "quitting time"? Maybe there was a cancellation, or you got done faster than you anticipated. What I am getting at is that some days you work 10 hours, some days maybe 7. Some weeks you work 50 hours some weeks only 35. In the long run, it will balance out. So scheduling an extra tuning here and there should not be considered working over time. But that's my opinion. Wim </HTML>
