That's what's neat about playing the retirement communities. Most of the NYE jobs are mid or late afternoon, you do the countdown as one of the assistant ADs lowers a big balloon attached to a string to the ceiling, everyone sings Auld Langsyne, and no TVs to contend with. When I did the late night jobs, 9 till 1 p.m., someone would always turn on the damned TV, but the pay was fantastic and as DNJ says, by 12:30 it's over and you're packing up to go home and count the cash. At one time I did a triple every NYE - just an afternoon single this year. OH YEAH!
