I have a good grasp on how many full faces I can do an hour. I'm wondering how many balloons you quote a customer that you can do per hour?

You know...I don't think I've figured that out yet. Haha. I need to buy one of those counter things. A lot of my gigs are birthdays where I'll paint and twist, so that's not a great indicator. I do have a balloons only event on Friday, though - hopefully I'll have bought a counter (do they have a proper name?) and I remember to use it!
I just tell them it all depends on the design, since I could do like 8-10 swords in the time it takes me to do a ray gun.

I don't think I've heard of a counter. Is this a special balloon supply or something else?

So how did you do?
Isn't it just as easy (hard) to put a mark on a piece of paper
to count each balloon?

Haha probably. But:
A) If I'm "in the zone" chances are good that I'd forget to mark down lines or whichever on paper - the counter is (a bit) bigger, and I'd hopefully be more likely to remember
and
B) ...I really like reasons (excuses?) to buy things, haha. Add that to the fact that I can write it off, and I'm pretty much sold!
I actually may try to get my volunteer/money taker to keep count for me...

Yeah - I know. While I can understand clients wanting to know that information,
Counting is cwazy. Like we don't have enough to do while Creating things,
being Entertaining/Fun, and handling business and people.
I wonder if other people are asked 'how many can you do per hour'.
Doctor - How many flu shots can you give out per hour? I mean, how many do you typically handle?
Secretary - How many papers do you file per hour?
Musician - How many songs do you play per hour? If you're playing all major chords on simple songs? Or if you're playing more intricate renditions?
Oh this is fun - I want to go on.
Photographer - How many photos will you snap per hour?
Saleslady - How many people do you help per hour?
Chef - How many dinners do you prepare per hour? What about if everybody ordered french-fries - If that's all they see, that's probably what they'll order? How many french fries can you give out per hour?
Computer Technician - How many Computers can you fix per hour?
Carpenter - How many nails can you hammer per hour?
Whew - I'm tired just thinking of what they would have to be doing.
But I guess they should spend their time-off practicing and counting - so they'll have the answer to the question.

Stand-up. I'd love to. But only if it comes up naturally.
I don't have any 'routines', but I just talk to people
while I paint/twist/whatever. It's just the way I talk -
the way I look at the world.
We gotta be able to laugh at our situations.
Now I just wish one of you would share a funny attitude about
the Safety thread that we have going on here.
I can't come up with a positive attitude about that on my own.

I came back to play with this idea some more. It's fun.
Teacher - How many pages do you cover in each class?
Butcher - ooooh - I don't waant to go there......
Masseuse - How many squeezes, how many taps would I get during this hour?
Athletic coach - How many inspiring ideas will you share per hour?
Cashier - How many orders will you ring up per hour?
Accountant - How many numbers can you add per hour?
President of the United States - How many negotiations can you handle per hour?
Realtor - How many houses.....
Jump in any time. I'd be glad to read Your play on this idea

Hey ~ Doesn't anybody like to play word-games?
Am I playing by myself?
How about these:
Dentist - How many teeth can you pull per hour?
Guidance Counselor - Um, what do they do, anyway?
Actor - How many words can you say per hour?
Babysitter - how much do you sit per hour?
Baker - How many cookies per hour was that???
Migrant Worker - How much corn do you pick per hour?
And what about if we also want you to shuck'm?
Bathroom Attendant - Do you.....?
Safety Inspector - How many places can you visit per hour?
