Is it Me?

Not sure bout anyone else's employment. But we are literally balls to the wall right now and when your self employed its all about making the most $ as possible and putting the hobby on hold till it slows up again. We have been slow most of the year and hoping its going to be busy till Christmas.

I MEAN REMEMBER YOU ARE AWESOME LADIES....CORRECT. BELIEVE ME BEING LOWSCALE NEVER IS WORTH IT. Originally Posted by annie@christophers

....Madam, some of us do what we have to do until we can do what we want to do

More than likely its alot to do with the adverse impact low oil prices are having on an industry that is huge here in bayou country I remember back in the 80's when the bottom fell out then it hurt everyone from the refineries to chemical plants to any vendor that supplied those operations.

The other thing is all the regs and threatened regs (the really dumb ones) for industry over the last several years. It impacts privately owned manufacturers first who have made historic profits but unable to justify expanding manufacturing due the damned regulations.

Keep on electing those with minimal experience to the White House and only academic moronic ideas not based on reality. This is what happens.

Or has it been kinda slow lately? Originally Posted by Armani.Banxx

As for me, I would love to party with the high dollar ladies but I can't normally get 30 minute sessions around noon so I just party with the locals. Satisfies my itch every time.

It ain't just the oil sector. Manufacturers were making money hand over fist for a few years recently but were not allowed to invest here in the U.S. due dumb regulations. It's impacted me about $100K annually for 6 years straight. Free stuff costs money too.

Also, stupid geopolitics have removed markets which were ripe for sales. That alone has cost me millions of lost profit.

Moving around is sound advice. I'll be traveling for a few weeks.

When your traveling the hotels are not going down....just hang tight. IT WILL GET BETTER ALWAYS DOES.

But its been very slow for me also and I hope that its just the holiday season approaching, and/or the gas prices you beautiful ppl just mentioned..

Lol - getting your ECCIE account suspended probably impacted your business more than oil prices!

There is a lot more to the natural gas/oil biz sector than just drilling. Unfortunately, coastal parts of Louisiana are immediately impacted by drilling and oilfield services demand.
