I just read a thread about incall vs. outcall rates and it got me thinking about the "real" costs of maintaining your own spot.
I shared a hobby pad with a buddy of mine for a while. We paid rent, utility bills, bought furniture...mine was nicer than his...he will laugh when he sees that.
One of the underlying themes in reviews seems to be the availability of clean towels, wash clothes, sheets, etc. in almost every single review, you will find a comment about one of these items.
I never realized what a logistical NIGHTMARE this was until I got my own hobby spot.
To all of you that go out of your way to make sure that a freshly washed towel and wash cloth is sitting there in the bathroom...I love you. I'll say the same for those of you that change out linens after your appointments. We know. More importantly, we can't help but notice when the covers on the bed aren't quite "right." So, it stands out when they are.
I'm not sure that I EVER used the same towel or wash cloth more than once in my hobby apartment. It was just too much trouble to collect them, take them home (never!), wash them, fold them, and kart them back. I just threw them all away. $2.84 at Walmart for a 12-pack of new wash clothes! $2-3 for a new towel. All just the "cost" of doing business...doing my business...as the case may go.
Anyway...to all of you that go out of your way to starch and press your tools-of-the-trade...I salute you!
