I thought id be busy this weekend as it was pay day for a lot yesterday but I was wrong. This is the quietest weekend I have had since I started - it's also the first time I have really needed the money

exacly my situation

Sorry to hear you are in the same boat. The last I was quiet (but not this quiet) it was mainly due to a football game... I don't think its that this weekend - just not my weekend I think. Hope yours picks up Sadie!

I ve had one of those weeks,where everything goes wrong!
fake notes.no shows,by the dozen,now im in a hotel thats like a morgue!
so limited to 1-2 a day..cant wait to get home!!x

I haven't noticed any real difference football or otherwise, still pretty much on a normal level.

It's strange how this business works...nowadays.

I don't get much bookings here at home, and even touring this year has just been so up in the air. I tend to cancel tours twice before actually going now simply because sometimes it just doesn't look so good to go. This week already had a cancellation for a 2 hr appt in which I cancelled. Now I'm getting all requests for massage, and that's simply not enough money to go across states for.

However last week, I had someone book me for an evening dinner 1 day prior to a client flying me out for a 2 night appt. I ended up missing my flight because I didn't have time to pack that evening as I was with client LOL. Eventually I got on the next flight and met other client. But I'm like, why is it that people have to book a LONG appointment right before an overnight?

Happened twice already this year.

Blaine it was youre choice to go though.

my choice to go where? On the trip? The client pre-paid for that. You mean the appointment the night before? There was $500 on the table I was going to leave that behind.

I've never known it so dead as the past few weeks; currently on tour and its like a freaking graveyard.  My one prebooking at my current tourstop cancalled, it wouldn't surprise me if I made a heavy loss here.

To add insult to injury I hadn't realised there was no lift and had to lug my considerable amount of luggage up 3 flights of stairs, the bed was the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on, and built for someone certainly under 5.7.  So hardly any sleep and aching all over today.

Oh yes and today my dongle decided to stop working so can only access all those naughty sites on my phone.

 

Plus side?  Oh yeh sublime chocholate brownie from the coffee shop next door
