Wow, nice work!! :)
I really wanted to do 10 in a row, but I'm dragging. I'll do tomorrow and the night after.
I'm preparing so I can take off Labor Day weekend and not feel bad. But I'll probably work that too!

^^^You are a trooper! I don't know why but I have a lot of trouble working a lot. I keep saying it's because I'm new but I've been dancing almost a year now and I still can't handle more than 15-20 hours a week. I am getting better but it's slow progress. :(
I look up to people like you that one day I can do it!

awww, I'm slacking off lately.
I used to do 5-6 nights a week religiously for years! But I was making stupid money back then and it was easy to get motivated.
Now, it's really hard to get motivated for shit money. I'm glad I saved a lot of it.

Today is Monday, not a very strong day for our club, and it would cost me $40 to work. I've decided to go in earlier tomorrow (when it will only cost $30) and spend the remaining $10 on gas.
And I am working Wed Thurs and Fri. So I would like to save my energy and relax/recharge tonight.

I nearly died laughing when Chrissy told me about being so concerned when you weren't at work one night -- literally, one night -- she had to call and make sure you were OK.

I forgot about that! I'm cracking up thinking about it.
And by slacking off, what I really mean is that I'm only averaging about 3-5 shifts a week! Which I think is pretty standard for most dancers.

Because I'm pregnant and going in tomorrow to get an abortion.
I missed this before.
I hope it went alright and you're feeling ok. Hugs.

That's the main reason I've been slacking so much lately. It's hard to put any effort into getting ready or going to work when it's doubtful you'll go home with anything substantial.
Uggghhh. I took three nights off and have to go in tonight and I'm so. not. happy about it. Everything about my club has been pissing me off lately. >:(

Because I've been constipated for four days and my laxatives didn't kick in until an hour before I had to start getting ready for work.

Umm.... I went.... they had 20 girls on and 5 guys in the club and despite my stage dance and making rounds I didn't even make a dollar and just in case the night hadn't been enough of a disaster the owner made it very clear to me that he wanted to fuck me and that if I wasn't going to fuck him he no longer gave a shit about me.... so I decided I'd had enough humiliation for one night...

Because I had a date so I told work to stuff it and then my date cancelled.
I'm going to eat ice cream alone now.

Try to ditch that mentality. It held me back for months. I kept not going in to work, and I'd get depressed because I wasn't making money. Think about it this way:
If you go in and only make 100 dollars, that's STILL more than you'd make sitting at home feeling pissed. Just think about how quickly that 100 dollars will pile up every time you work. Once I forced myself to go in four days a week I felt better about myself. I stopped expecting more than 200/night, and I made that much at least, because I wasn't pissed off and losing my motivation. It also helped me stay cool when irritating shit happened. Because I wasn't stressing about earning a certain amount, I was able to just ignore most shit, and calmly report things if they bothered me enough.
Stay strong! It'll get better!

Actually, I haven't been working much this month. Met a new guy, did some traveling. Tonight I have a date with him, but I am working day.

...because I'm going to drive all the way to my Oma's tomorrow, but I still shoulda done an early shift. Fuck, I'm lame.
September dawns, and I will be working like a robot!! go go go. I knew this thread would inspire me. It's like a mirror. lol. And also a '10 days in a row, I can do that, pshaw'.
It's like my coach used to say, all German..."I don't want to hear your problems. Just...do it." I don't know if he got that from nike or not, but it's still good advice.

I went into work last night but I basically didn't because when I arrived there I got sick and began throwing up....the only times I went out on the floor was right after yacking (I felt better for a few minutes) and to go on stage, which was a god awful experience. I should have stayed home!! :(

I didn't go in last night because the afternoon before, I tweaked my back, quite badly (I wasn't able to bend at the waist), while having good sex.

I skipped the last two days of the RNC because they were pissing me off. Look at what happens:
http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=184114&title=the-best-f#king-news-team-ever
The Daily show goes into my work and I'm not there. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Anyways, I'm not working today because I decided to take five days off. I already met my financial needs for september (though not my goals) so I figure I deserve a break.
