    Default I am seriously going to hustle my ass off...

    today. I'm going in at opening and I'm going to stay until closing. I know. I'm crazy. But I am in this I-have-to-get-my-shit-together- mode and I want to come home with at least $1,000. That and I am working on a movie soon so I am training myself to get used to working long-ass (14-16 hour) days.

    Has anyone ever worked one of these marathon shifts???

    I'll let you know how I do when I come home tonight.

    Oy. Here we go...

    I did a 14-hour shift once and made around $650. I should have made a lot more but I was so exhausted I couldn't hustle.

    i hope you dont drink. haha.. though i have worked 2 very long shifts like that before once on a friday from noon til 2am (and we had to sell drinks plus you got a bar tab every cr you did.. and i was a big drinkger at the time) and i think i did average. another time, i worked saturday 12-9ish at one club then went to another and worked the rest of the night. one again, wasted. somehow i managed to do really well, though.

    now, though, i can only imagine working like that if i was staying busy pretty much the entire time. once i stop, i'll get tired.

    Good luck. I used to work at one club from 11:30am-7pm and then go to the next club from 8pm-2am and I made good money but after a few weeks of that, I was burnt. I was actually thinking of working a double tomorrow (12pm-5am) to make my bills.

    NO CLOCK WATCHING!!! LOL!! I told myself I am going to be focused and yes I will take breaks when needed.

    No, I don't drink. Good Lord if I did I'd be in trouble.

    And tomorrow I don't need to get up until the afternoon. So I think I'll be OK.

    I don't know what has lit this fire under my ass, but I'm just going with it...

    I tried to pull a "double" 5pm-3am instead of the usual 7pm-3am, and ended up leaving early. I didn't stay focused and working though so I kindda got bored and then tired and then just wanted to go home so I did.

    I ended up working less hours than usual (but making the same average) and coming home earlier really allowed me to get some real sleep and not that mind racing crap while laying in bed, so it actually turned out awesome.

    My only advice is to keep yourself busy because once you go to the dressing room and sit down and take a break it's harder to get back out there.

    OK I lied. LOL . I'm not going to open but I am going in around 1:30 and I'm going to stay as long as I can. I need to take a power nap before entering into this shift...

    I've done them (11+ hours) but only because I was stuck in extended VIP's.

    At one club I used to work at Fridays and Saturdays we were open from 6pm to 3:30am, so ten hour shifts on the weekends was the norm. The money was worth it. Keep motivated, stay moving and in a good mood. When I start to drag I just think what else I could be doing; sitting at home not making any money.

    Good Luck and kick ass!

    If you get used to it, you do it all the time.

    I've worked 30 hours straight before.

It's really nice to know that you have the ability to go to work on any given day and make a grand if you just put in the hours.
    This is what I'm counting on. I'm gonna go in early tomorrow and hustle my ass off and try to get past 1000! then try again on Saturday!

    Good luck OP!

    You guys are tempting me... I'm going to try tomorrow noon to 7pm, then go home and watch the Suns kick ass and go back 10-2. I think working thru the Suns game would be a waste no one will be spending money.
    Good luck and let us know how it goes! I'm gonna try tomorrow too!

    At both the clubs I have worked at, I have worked open to close every Friday and sometimes Saturday. It's 12-14 hours depending when the clubs opened. It was so tough at first, mostly because my feet and knees would be on fire by about 8:00, but the money is worth it almost every time. I really wish I could take a break from 6:00 to 7:00 to regroup and get some food, but powering through it just gets easier and easier.

    ugh, I worked 17 hours once and only made 500 bucks. I quit that club real quick after that.
    I hope it went ok, Sunshine!

    I am very impressed!! We have some hard workers on this forum!! WOW!

    OMG, what a wacky day!! I'm delirious.

    I think I was feeling a little overly ambitious this morning, but my day WAS productive, and that is what I was aiming for.

    To make the long story short, I didn't go to work until 6pm. It was completely dead during the daytime (I went in and checked) so I thought OK why work a marathon shift when nobody is here? So, after running errands and working out, I started at 6pm and got out at 1am. The first 3 hours the club was empty, the last 4 hours the club was busy.

    Over the 4 hours it was busy I made a little over $440. So yes, when there were people to hustle, I worked it. And I am happy with what I made.

    I think was a reminder that I should stick with going in for late shifts only, because that is the only time I bank. So working smarter, not harder, is the key. I can only handle being in there for so long!!! My brain. My brain! I still hear club music playing in my head!!

    Tomorrow is going to be a 9 hour day.

    I'm hoping a 16 hour day on a film set is much more doable than a 16 hour shift at a club...oy...

    one time i was in a rut and did 4 double shifts in one week....but it was a no-hustle atmosphere...all stage. AND we have 4 stages. i think i worked 6 out of 7 days that week. another time i worked 16 days straight with a couple double shifts tossed in there somewhere. we opened at 11:30am and closed at 2am...so it CAN be done. red bull/monster/rockstar/etc WILL be your friend that day

    Hepful hints: don't drink alcohol, and don't stop. Once you stop moving for whatever reason after about 10 hours, you start to think about what the hell you're still doing at the club. Then you might an uncontrollable desire for your bed or any bed for that matter.

    I do 10-12 hour shifts at least 3 times per week. I have noticed that if I drink or stop to "rest" other than eating of course, I become super lazy.

    I get all nutty and start saying crazy things at the ends of my shifts. It's like my brain wants to shut down but my body keeps going and I won't let it. I can't even repeat some of the shit that I say. You probably won't believe that I get away with it somehow.
    Working a double shift has got to be the ultimate torture, and the club wouldn't want me there. I don't think I've ever done it actually. I'd probably punch someone, or make them cry. I don't have that kind of mental stamina.

    I worked an open to close which is 11am-3am once. I made a little over $1,200. It felt great. It did, however, take the ENTIRE weekend to recover. But I don't work Sat. and Sun anyways!

    I used to work doubles on the weekend every weekend. The club opened at 12:00 and closed at 2:30 a.m. It just worked out better for me and my family.

    YES!! I turn into a complete weirdo. Then I have to take myself off the clock, due to SC-induced delirium.
