    Default why i dont like to take sat nights off

    I'm feeling pressure from SO's in my life to take sat nights off work. Im not talking about regularly, I'm talking about occasionally and yet I still feel extremely bitter, annoyed and hostile about it.

    Why?

    Because without going into specific figures a sat night is my big money night and it's the equivalent to a person working a normal job not getting paid for an entire weeks wage or even two weeks wage at some jobs. This is why it pisses me off so much.

    Why cant they just accept that saturdays are out of the picture for me?

    Am I horrible for this? Im not willing to do it whether it be a friends birthday or whatever the occasion because it's not fair for me to miss out on that sort of money and it puts me behind financially. No other night at my club can I rely on to earn what I can on a saturday.

    If a friend does have some event on a sat my only compromise is to show up but leave early so that I can work.

    I'm about to explode over this because I'm having an argument with somebody right now who thinks I should take a sat off soon just to "do something".

    Unless they are willing to take time off THEIR job(unpaid of course) so you can hang out on one of your nights off...they will have to realize that they are not being fair. Or they can pay you what you would have made that night so you arent losing anything!
    You work Sat night. People think that because we have the OPTION of working or not at will we are ABLE to. If thats when you make your money...thats when you have to work. They can deal with it or hit the road.

    thank-you. i feel like no one understands but I know my sw girls will
    they dont seem to understand that it's not like taking one night/day off work. Plus I only work 2-3 nights per week and it's my only source of income right now.

    Maybe I should ask them to take a week off, unpaid to hang out.

    I doubt you'd be able to even enjoy yourself, you'd be thinking about all the money you aren't making. It's pretty self-centered of a friend to expect you to take off of work for a birthday party.

    Yeah, what CKXXX said. People seem to think that because we make our own schedules that we can just take off whenever we want. What I get is people whining at me to just NOT go to work on nights I have already scheduled myself for. They think its a big party and I can just not go if I feel like it.

    IMO, it would be irresponsible to miss a night that to you is so much better than other nights just so you can do something fun.

    I hope this person can get it through their head that you can't afford to just take your biggest money night off, especially because it only happens 4 times a month!

    I hear you. It's screwing up my relationship.

    I wish people would understand that Saturday night is where my money comes from. I wish my boyfriend would just understand that Saturday night is WHY I am so independent, why I can support myself, why I can live a bit lavishly.

    ANY, and I mean ANY other night is negotiable. Except Saturday. Blah.

    I feel for you!

    I'm sure they wouldn't take an unpaid day off work just to do something, so why should you take an unpaid day off? You're completely right, and that must be very frustrating.

    I hear you! I kind of envision it like, well, if I go to work there is $X waiting for me. If I go here, I will be -$X. I'm sure my regular friends would blow me off for the chance to make $500 or $1000 or whatever...... Hell, they'd blow me off to make $100!

    Having Friday and Saturday night stuck in your head as The Night to Do Something is really stupid. With it being your big night, it really should be nonnegotiable. I mean it' is your job and your livelihood and it's selfish of him to need you on that specific night. Go ot some other time. Have dinner before work or something special...?

    yep. it screwed my relationship up royally. but it's also causing tension between me and friends.
    I totally agree that ANY other night is negotiable. Fridays are often hit and miss at my club - u could walk out with $50 or it could be as good as a sat. But sat I rely on as my income, it's the only night I can rely on. Lets face it we are not talking normal wages here a good sat night is $1000+ and I wouldn't enjoy myself if I was out coz I'd be wondering how much I COULD have made and it would just piss me off.

    That's it I'm hereby putting my foot down coz it's obvious from all your responses now that I'm not being unreasonable (I was starting to question myself) and I'm just telling people that I'm unavailable on saturdays so if they want me to come to an event specifically then it will have to be on another night.
