2017 year-end numbers

[TruthBTold]

Well, I'm charging Mr. Green with the really big butt in the dining room.

I will not presume to defend the OP's preferences or business model, but most providers I know prefer the 3 devils they do know over the 150 devils they don't know.

 

 

As does almost any service professional.

Thanks for sharing Kevin! You’re a very visual person and the charts were very easy to understand and comprehend so I commend you on being very clear and having put a lot of thought into your work. Speaks wonders for you! Longevity

Per annual tradition:

 

Revenue increased 5% over 2016.

 

The attached chart shows how the big fish really swing the annual totals, with base revenue of all other clients being comparatively stable.

Is the vertical, dependent, "y" axis linear or logarithmic?

Wow, what a turn on. Hehehe

Linear.

[Rudynate]

Linear.

I wondered whether that was a serious question. You'd be a VERY busy escort if it was logarithmic.

[Kevin Slater]

You'd be a VERY busy escort if it was logarithmic.

 

I think that would depend on the base of the log.

This is the sexiest talk I have read on this forum.

Think about it ... the base REALLY doesn't matter, unless it's < 1.0

What if one were stupid enough to make it something like 1.001?

I need to take a math refresher course!

I wonder what made 2012 such a banner year? Pent up demand from the recession?

Notice on the graph that well over half that year's revenue was from the top three clients. Revenue from all others was actually flat.

Thats interesting. Also the changes when you moved to Manhattan. Is that gross or net? It would be interesting how much your costs jumped when you made the move.

Gross.

 

Expenses may not have moved that much. Sure, rent is higher, but ditching the car saved a lot. (My annual transportation budget is now $160 to CitiBike.)

You never take cabs, Ubers, or the subway?

I have a great apartment with a playroom and sling. As for outcalls, if CitiBike doesn't go there, neither do I.

 

I occasionally put $20 on my metrocard or take an Über, so sure, let's call my transportation budget $200 a year.

You even take CitiBike in the dead of winter? A friend of mine back in Boston rode his bike everywhere, even in the worst of Boston winter, because he didn't have a car and found public transportation too inconvenient. It looks like an awfully chilly winter in the Northeast, so if you take CitiBike in these temps, wow, more power to ya!

Ya, I'd rather be moving on a bike than waiting on a cold subway platform.

 

From my twitter: Boy people give you funny looks when you're checking out a CitiBike at 4am in 6° weather. Like they've never seen a cheap hooker off to a partying client before.

Zoinks! you have my undying admiration! Even though I spent 3 years of my childhood in Canada, one year in almost arctic Brandon MB and two years in Toronto, then lived in Boston for a couple of decades, I was never that tough in cold weather. Now that I live in sunny and (in the summer) blazing hot Las Vegas, I'm pretty sure I'd be the world's biggest wuss in single-digit temps. The thought of riding a bike in way-sub-zero windchill almost gives me a heart attack.

 

But I gotta hand it to ya, you are indeed saving buckets of cash by taking CitiBike everywhere. When I lived in NYC, my friends used to tease me for being the Cab Queen because I took taxis so often (no Uber back then). That's a vice that adds up far too fast. Perhaps New Yorkers grumble about the cost of the subway, but I think the fares are quite reasonable. But if you're not even taking the subway, then your bank balances must be tickled pink

I am impressed though most log graphs are in base 2. hehehehe

Mostly others have just pushed them out of the top three.

 

 

 

Yeah, but then we'd be asking what happened to Mr. Chartreuse, Mr. Cyan, Mr. Magenta, Mr. Huckleberry Red...

I hope you have nice clients. I always think mine are trying to do me harm you might know some of them:

 

• Colonel Mustard.
  
• Mrs. White.
  
• Reverend/Mr. Green.
  
• Mrs. Peacock.
  
• Professor Plum.
  
• Miss Peach.
  

And don't get me started on Miss Scarlett. I found her with my candlestick in the library....
