Had a client today insisting that we schedule her project NOW. I've been telling her we are booked solid through October. We're me and my backer with the GC licence and cash and we split the embarrassingly high profit margin we go in at. Kids, find a niche that nobody else is in and exploit it. This is Yellow's non political board so lets just say magic fairy dust has bestowed several million dollars of business on us. I came out of semi retirement to execute it.

At any rate, I finally said after her third time asking me to go ahead and give the job to someone else and I won't take it personally.

Can you fit me in November?

Of course we can.

    This is true.

    So true. My father taught me this early on. “Doog_de_Jour, you must always be willing to walk away from a negotiation.”

    I see it as not only the ultimate power move, but also the highest form of self care.

    That's hot.

    I can see why @Swaye is still on a restraining order.

    50/50 split on the free pub here with @UW_Doog_Bot . He’s the oil man but my daddy went to middle school on the hill in Long Beach where this scene is set.

    You severely underestimate the throbber's breadth of experience in building massive wealth and owning multiple compounds.

    A third for a quarter, biyotch.

    Grandpappy bot was one of the oilmen that built the hill.

    @UW_Doog_Bot, you're an oil man? In what capacity?

    Family has been in the industry since before WW2. I ended up in the industry after a very circuitous path around 2013 or so. I manage large capital projects for my current company.

    That's how the Throbber felt when oil fell to $28 per bbl.

    Man, I'm on the very opposite end of the spectrum: Lowly operator. Allows me to keep living in the area, though, so I'll take it.

    Being a company man in town isn't a bad gig if you managed to get it.

    Plus, there's going to be a huge vacuum in management when all the boomers croak.

    Sure as hell beats my friends with shoe shine degrees and student debt slinging coffee.

    Anything related to geology is a massive void of talent. Petroleum engineering, mining engineers, anything to do with extraction industries are going to be pretty well fucked in less than 10 years. The brain drain will be massive.

    And despite what the greenies think, the need for industrial minerals and oil isn't going to slow down any time soon. Lithium is the new hot play but WTF has been our exploring for lithium?!? Am aware of several projects now in Nevada but lithium was like a shit mineral for the gold and silver hounds out there turning over rocks.

    And to think that people at UW called Geology 101 “Rocks for Jocks”.
