My recomendation is to hang in there. Recent news shows San Antonio lost 15,700 jobs in January 2010 alone compared to 9000 total in 2009. Supposedly a result of temp jobs during the Xmas shopping season being let go. The economy is in the pits, jobless rate in San Antonio is 7.7% which is the all time highest since the rate has been tracked (previous record was 7.5%) Companies are cutting back. People with jobs are afraid to spend money, companies are afraid to hire new people due to some of the policy recomendations of the current administration like new taxes on employers related to payroll and so forth. Things will change. A near revolution will occur in November. This downturn is temporary. No matter what happens, no matter who runs the show the economy is cyclic and it will improve and I believe soon.What great words of wisdom that we can all apply to our own lives. While your words might sting to someone who's feeling down, they really do hit home.
Having met you (non BDC) I know you to be both charming (I love the British accent) and good looking. I have been tempted several times (and we almost connected once a couple of years back) to call. But unfortunately, you are located in NE SA and I tend to play closer to home, that is far NW or at home NW of SA and tend to utilize the same few (3 or 4 Providers) that I am comfortable with. A 90 minute advance notice is fine. I would consider that extremely reasonable. But an incall located more NW (where it seems a great many Providers play in the Medical Center area) may be of benefit. I don't know why this area seems to attract many Providers, but it must mean that many hobby guys play in that area also. Regardless, I would hate to see you give up and hope to meet you sometime. I am older, my libido ain't what it used to be and once a week, sometimes once every couple of weeks seems to be all I want My business has slowed down in the past year and to attempt to bring it up I have increased my business hours, extended to weekends, and tried to be more friendly and jovial. Over a period of several months I have now seen an increase in business. A positive attitude can go a long way. Chin up and smile. And guys....I have met the lady and although I have not been BCD with her, she is a keeper and on ASPD had stellar reviews with all the bells and whistles. Talk is cheap. I am full up on my play calender for the next week and a half with 3 sessions scheduled or I would call her myself. Guys, help the lady out, ring her up, be her knight in shining amour Originally Posted by Jdriller
