    Default I QuIT! HOORAY!!!

    I'm so stoked. I'm going in tomorrow and quitting.

    I can't take my club anymore. It was kind of an impulse decision, but I also feel it's been a long time coming.

    I've been at Ecstasy in Santa Ana ever since I got on the board (under my old username) and it's high time I left. Money is ok, but nowhere near like it used to be (I know this is the general trend, esp. in LA), and people expect SOOOO much for everything... I'm sick of feeling pressured and grossed out and I just can't take it anymore. I need a cleaner club, too... I can't deal with a place that knowingly has all types of sexual activities going on where the DJ's just expect it and look the other way. The environment is severely fucking with my psyche. I used to really enjoy coming in to work, but now it seems I avoid it like the plague. I need a club where I can enjoy dancing again.

    I'm kinda sad, though- most of the girls @ my club were REALLY awesome, and I'll miss them, and the laid-back 'do as you please' environment. However, the scheduling was really stringent, and the FINES were just off the charts. 100 bucks if you miss a day??? 200 if you miss a holiday? I have a really demanding major at school that occasionally necessitates I DO miss work... and I can't afford to be paying out the ass for fines.

    So, time to find a new club!!! I'm so excited!!

    Every now and then it's good to re-evaluate your circumstances and make changes accordingly. What works one day/month/year may not work the next, and flexibility is key. I remember when I switched clubs the first time, in my home town. It was so hard in the beginning 'cause I went from a nice, big upscale one to a neighborhood bar, but now I love it more than the previous one.

    ^ hehe i'll pass it on through some of the girls...

    Yeah, ecstasy has some self-perpetuating myth that keeps girls coming back there... "it's the ONLY place you'll ever make $$, nothing else exists, noTHInG, NOTHING!!!" and i swear it keeps girls quiet about fines and whores, etc...
    I'm so excited to check out other places and dispel this myth. I've been z-boning up.

    ^Thanks!! I SO wish pasadena was closer... the club there, Pleasures, offers to pay 1/2 of your health insurance and all your book costs to student dancers who maintain a 3.0 or above... is that not awesome??? I'll probably try some of the south bay clubs, and stick around s.la/ long beach.

    Damn right girl! You deserve better than that place. I think there were a lot of nice things about it, especially in the past but I honestly always worried about you in the emotional sense. I think you are a classier dancer and didn't like to see you be subjected to all that crap that goes on. Admittedly I was butt-hurt at first when they rejected me but I think in retrospect the whole ordeal was saving me from a lot of psychological nonsense. I don't think I could have dealt with all the fines either! PM me if you want to let me know which club you're looking into.
    I may be able to provide some insight as I have been to so many clubs out there. lol

    Yeehaw! I hope you find a new club! I thought about auditioning there but I couldn't handle all of the fines and scheduling since I'm in school too. I like to be flaky

    I've never heard of a club offering benefits like Pleasures though. Thats awesome. I've been traveling out of town to work for a while now but I'm thinking of taking school a little more seriously and staying put by summer.

    Good luck with your hunt. I wish I had some brilliant idea to send your way, oh well I can send good vibes at least

    ^?? felix is amazingly cool and an ACTual dj... there's another not-particularly nice dj who shall go unnamed, but he does care about his girls nonetheless... it was not the worst, not the best place, but it was homey... like a homey brothel...

    (no, seriously, all the extras got to the girls. it got really old to see EVERyone having their drug of choice just to deal with the guys and their expectations... and to see the cleaner dancers not make any $$ and just sit in the back because they'd already said "fuck it" long ago.)

    but thanks for the support, everyone! alexxa i'll def. be pm-ing you... i've already combed through all the posts on the places i'm looking- lysondra, you'll get a pm as well. of course, the economy has made EVERything a little worse, but it's always different for every dancer.

    Wow. This exact same thing was totally happening with the club I was fired from last week. It took me getting fired and getting a job at another club to realize it. At first I had a panic attack cause I was under this spell. I thought that was it for me, there are no other clubs to work at....I'm fucked. Well I picked myself up and "dispelled the myth", went out and found a great club.

    Enjoy your vacation and find a decent place to work. There must be someplace in the area that is prostitution free.

    Ooooh, they also had $50 fines if you were late and you could lose your job for three months before you were ALLOWED to pay the $200 no show fine. Even a doctors note couldn't save you.

    This describes my last club in Daytona quite well.

    Too bad you are on the other side of the country, I just started in a new club, and it would be way cool to work with you!

    Good luck, you have a lot of spirit and will get what you want eventually, no doubt about it...
