The credit check took *well* over an hour. It started at approximately 9:30 give or take two minutes, and came through at 11:07. By then, yes, I was watching the clock. 1 hr 37 minutes. Plus up to twelve minutes beforehand dealing with the ID issues (which was fast because I had her full attention at that point), and then another thirteen minutes afterwards waiting for her to give me forms to sign, make her official statements to me etc etc while juggling the other customers.
My first show that morning was supposed to be at 10 am. At 9:40 (after she said it was going to take 20 minutes) I rang and told them I'd be late, but I'd be ok for the next one - which was at 11:30. I thought that was a reasonable assumption. I got there four minutes before it started. When it finished I went straight to another in a different venue with a two minute break - to make up for the one I'd missed and had to be covered for. My resulting sequence ended up being something like two and a half hours straight performance. It became a looooooonnnng day....
