I fixed someone's laptop that he crashed by looking at porn. Normally I charge $50 for that. He tipped another $140 to have it fixed before his wife came home. Easy $ for me. I need to find more porn watching fools to earn from.

Even though the past several days have been a shit show, I'm happy to be traveling, in a beautiful country, where I can get breakfast delivered to my apartment. I'm drinking coffee in a gorgeous airbnb in a historic city center. Not bad, for a bad day.

I’m thankful i am completely turning my financial status around.

Now I make more in a day than I did in a week at that vanilla job.

Yeah it was good benefits n what not but I just can’t believe those assholes tried to break me mentally n make to work like a damn slave for that little amount of money

Today, I'm under 140lbs for the first time in probably 2 years. I've finally broken the 15lb weight-loss barrier since buying BeachBody on Demand at the end of 2018. I constantly yo-yoed back and forth with 10lbs. I don't plan on stopping my diet or new exercise plan until mid-April so it's only down from here!

Today I am grateful for having a roof over my head and a temporary place to stay.
When I was walking around the store, I overheard a young woman mention how her Father told her to get out of the house and that she shouldn't be there.
She was homeless and relying on her friend for emotional support.
Made me realize that my situation could actually be far worse than what I think it is.

Tough start this am but closed it out strong and was able to help 2 new clients

Glad I waited to file my tax return after starting it in January. After playing around with it today, adding another W2 that I forgot about, and realizing that Lyft pays for its drivers to file on TurboxTax, I went from expecting $80 in return after filing fees up to over $1000 instead. Thank god.

^^^ Really great posts!

I’m grateful to have a job that pays my bills in 2 days.

My homework was light this week, so I watched a movie (rare for me). It was nice to have a break from the constant demands and deadlines.

I am finally done with all my university studies and started a real job. I am very happy with the work, the people and the conditions. Taking time off sex work for a few weeks, still want some extra money, I still see some great regulars but will be leaving completely in August after I finish my internship and am called to the bar. A happy ending!

I was running late-isn’t that tell tale sign of being a stripper or even ex stripper. As soon as I pulled into the college campus I followed this guy walking to his car. I stalked him until he backed out of the parking stall. I’m grateful I wasn’t late today. I gave him the biggest wave and smile as he was backing out. I’m grateful for good parking spots when I’m running late.

I was able to find a very short-term remote gig for today and baby napped on my lap while I worked. By the time I had completed what I needed to do, she woke up and ate, and went right back to sleep so I was able to get a shower in. I know it might sound silly but I am happy when I have such small victories these days.

I’m just grateful to be alive. I’m grateful there’s nothing extremely crazy going on in my life. I’m grateful for all the support I’ve gotten from complete strangers. The universe supports my highest good.

“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.“ somewhere in the Bible

I got the house that I've been wanting!! It's exactly what I've been looking for -- there's a yard for my dogs, it's unfurnished, and it's near the city center. I did most of the paperwork today, and I'm coming back next week to finalize everything.

I've been working my ass off for such a long time, to make this happen... I need to pop a bottle of champagne or something, lol.

Thursday I had something extremely unnerving happen that I never wish on another girl EVER! I had taken a longggggg phone call and didn’t get paid due to a system error. I contacted support & due to the circumstances I wasn’t able to get all my money. :(. But they decided to give me a little credit to my account instead, not much but it’s the thought that counts right? Heh

I would raise hell over this. You worked and need to be paid. Their system error is their problem, not yours. Especially if they are not even disputing the error occurred.

I guess I should have posted this in the 'Feeling pissy today. Petty annoyances, what do you have?' thread because honestly I was so fucking hurt, I even made an angry rant/post in the talk to me thread but felt so bad I deleted it I thought I was being irrational idk idk, this is the second time in my life I've been r*ped out of my time and money & I honestly don't know how to process this.... I literally sat on the phone for two hours talking thinking the guy was sitting on the other line with his phone on mute... Here's what they said,

"The caller was only connected for 4 minutes. Unfortunately, your phone was not released/disconnected from the line at that time.
If you cannot be sure if the caller is still connected, please announce that you will have to disconnect the call if they don't respond (suggest a keypress on the phone or a tap).
You should not sit on the phone without being connected to anyone. The callers aren't paying for the call and as a result, we can not add earnings for that time."



The first Photo is what I actually got, & the second is what I THOUGHT I was going to receive... I was so pissed I had to go to bed after that. I literally cried myself to sleep in disbelief I had JUST RAISED MY RATES TOO!

Also the girls on the TTM thread know the site was recently remodeled, I had been sending e-mails through the past weeks of things they've needed to tweak, & I told the woman that they need to update it so that in the menu bar my total unpaid balance needs to update in real time like it did before the switch.... Apparently this was a glitch in coding & they had no idea that it was doing this.......... And I was told I was supposed to update them about this. HOW THE FUCK IS THAT MY JOB???? I honestly thought that was apart of the fucking site upgrade!!

And all I got was $20 Credit..... I think it's time to move onto Niteflirt....

If I'm understanding correctly, a caller hung up but your phone didn't hang up like it's supposed to, so you thought they were still on the line but quiet? Both your pictures are from the website?

It's up to you, but here is some language you can send that will probably get their attention:

Hi [name],
Thanks for the information regarding what to do in this situation in the future. If the situation occurs again, I will proceed as you recommended. Regarding the current situation, given that your system did not work as intended (i.e., did not drop my line as it was supposed to), it remains unclear to me why [website] is not paying me in full for this call. It is not unreasonable to assume someone is shy and being quiet and you are not disputing that my line was still connected. The screenshots provided clearly demonstrate that the call was still connected from my end. This seems related to the recent website changes, and I, in the spirit of helpfulness have already sent several notifications to [website] regarding system glitches. It is illegal to not pay me for this call when it was due to your system glitch. Any website changes should have been fully tested and validated before implementation and they clearly were not.
I am very upset and disappointed by [website's] lack of accountability for this issue and disrespect for my time and work. I have discussed this at length with other workers on related forums and there is growing concern by other ladies that this will happen to them and [website] will not resolve the situation appropriately.
Thanks,
[your name]

I had already spoken to one of the support team members, after they sent me that e-mail & like a dumb ass thanked them for throwing me $20 & told them I should have checked in on the caller; basically agreeing with them trying to save face & not pay me out of nervousness. I've always been meek out of fear of seeming stern & forward about it would make me look "ghetto" or whatever - I guess I no standards or boundaries of holding people accountable???? I just- I don't know if I can redeem myself @ this point :( I want to pursue some other action. This is the second time in life (First time was vanilla work bartending) I've gotten fucked over like this & I don't know what to do. I just HATE feeling like a fucking victim, I told myself to get over it & brush it off and just go make some more money but I can't, knowing this is the best that I'm gonna get. I can't think straight right now I'm sorry I don't have the right words for this AT ALL. I just want to lash out in a very unhealthy manner right now.

You could still send what I wrote but add something like "After more consideration" and maybe move the sentence about discussing with other phone sex workers to be first. It's very likely their calls are not recorded or documented in any way. They are counting on you dropping it. Follow up! It can't hurt. In person I am VERY shy and have a very hard time standing up for myself, so I get it. Statistically women are always the gender getting screwed even by other women, because we are conditioned by society to just be polite and take it. I think you should still follow up. You can do it! Stay in email so it's documented. If they call you, don't answer.

Thank you x100, I really need to stop letting people punk me out...

Universe got my back today! I have been finishing off the healthy leftovers I have before grocery shopping tomorrow, but that's left with with some very lackluster options (that I obviously didn't eat before lol). I was super thinking about/craving Chipotle for dinner, but figured I shouldn't. Didn't even mention it. Hubby called as he was leaving the gym and asked if I'd eaten - when I said no, he told me to text him what I usually get at Chipotle and he'd bring it home. <3

Down 11 pounds today; I fit into my size 6 jeans when 4 weeks ago, I struggled with my 8s being too tight; and I got hit on at the laundromat today! It was a kinda old dude, and I hate to be that girl that “likes” the attention, but I have not been hit on in ages and it seemed directly proportional to me gaining weight, so not gonna lie that it boosted my spirits.

A guy friend that I knew from a vanilla job visited and brought food and baby stuff. I hadn't seen him since I was 4 months pregnant and we randomly went to an apple orchard. I wasn't expecting that from him, seeing as how I've known him for 6 years and he was always anti-babies and kids. I was grateful for the company too.
