My ATF had reviews in the 8 or 9 category 6 months ago.  She slipped with some in the 5 or 6 range lately.  Seems like she's become a lot more $$ focused in the last few months.  She states that she has a goal of $1,000 per day, works 6 days per week, and uses a cup during period time so she can keep working.  

My read is that she's over-doing it for the $$$.  I realize each person is different, but my question is:  can you really do 3 guys a day (maybe with 2 pops each), 6 days per week, for a bunch of months in a row and not have your quality suffer?  

nope. no way. Guys have a way of forgetting that this is physical and emotional labor. The emotional part may be harder
than the physical part. Thing is, nobody sees the little changes adding up in themselves. A friend hasn't seen you in months and that person will pick up on the shift right away. Those who overwork in this biz drift into indifference, numbness. Eyes that once looked into you now look through you. Overwork at anything dries you up. True for everybody. Normal social life away from work a must. Law of life, for every compression there must be an equal and opposite decompression. Otherwise you get bent out of shape for the duration. Getting bombed and staring at the tube doesn't count. Need to leave it behind on a regular basis, get oxygen, talk about stuff unrelated to the job.

Thanks for the post.  I see girls on tour doing high volume while on the road, but it seems like this is a "4 day sprint" followed by some decent time off vs. a multi-month marathon.
