    Default Choosing to stay home? Reasons?

    What's the single most common reason you stay home from work, even though you planned on working?

    Sheer laziness. I don't feel like the drive, getting ready, I think I won't make any money, I want to stay home and cuddle with my man, ugh I could go on but mostly just sheer laziness.

    Just not feeling it...even if it is "good" I know I won't make money if I am just not in the mood. A good entertainer knows when to stay home. I only want the crowd to see me when I'm feeling it.

    Other -- not being scheduled. I blow off work a hell of a lot more when I'm at a club where you don't have to commit to certain shifts. As to why I'd blow it off in that case, just about all of the reasons listed except for hungover or kids. If I'm scheduled, it pretty much takes being sick to make me call off.

    I have to schedule so I don't really blow shifts. I guess sometimes I'm more of a baby than I need to be like if I'm a little sick or a little sore I've called in a couple times.

    But I only work like 3-4 days a week despite having nothing better to do, and THAT is because I like a lot of me-time, being with significant other, too lazy to drive and get ready, etc.

    The drive.

    Being at work and trying to monitor my energy level so I don't completely crash when I'm driving home is hard. I think it's really dangerous. Also there's a detour thing that with my cars shitty lights and the semi's lights hitting my mirrors blinding me...it's really hard for me to figure out where I'm going.

    After thinking about that, I realize I don't have enough energy to deal with that AND still make it a good night at work.

    I'm a sucker for LEAVING work because I decide I want to hang with my BF or go out.

    Some nights I'm too depressed or anxious to put myself out there for rejection. It can be emotionally devastating sometimes when I'm in a bad emotional place already and the customers start with the douchebaggery.

    Only if I'm sick. But, if I'm emotionally drained, I'll leave early (when I can count it as leaving positive, money-wise). Sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm physically or mentally tired.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    Usually it's a vague feeling that it's gonna suck or else I'm sick.

    I did stay home last sunday just to punish management though, lol.

    I pretty much know that any night I work is going to suck. I can try my hardest, give 110%, and work my ass off, and it's STILL going to suck. Frankly, I dread going to work. I despise working my ass off for 7 hours for $40. Even worse, I'm afraid every single night when I go in that I won't even make my house fee and tipout. I'm terrified that I'm going to walk out owing money.

    I hate working where I work. I wish to Goddess I didn't have to go to work. I hate my customers, who think that they can grab your crotch when you walk by without even trying to tip you. I hate my manager, who's constantly trying to "flirt" with me and who's offered other dancers upwards of $300 to sleep with him. I hate my DJ, who doesn't give two shits whether you had a good night or a bad night as long as you pay your tip-out; if he KNOWS that you made barely enough for tipout, he'll STILL insist on you paying him the full $15, but heaven help you if you happen to make $200--he'll throw a hissy fit until you pay him the extra $5.

    I hate my club. I just want to get the fuck out of here.

    ETA: It's fucking utter bullshit that a DJ in a club should be making over $200 a night when the top earner in the club only made $150, when half the dancers made under $20 and 1/8 of the dancers made less than $10. It's fucking bullshit the number of times I've pulled money OFF MY CREDIT CARD to pay my DJ because I didn't make enough to pay his goddamn tipout.

    I used to be pretty shitty about going in, but the last few months have been great about it. The only time I had to miss was this week, and only because I was very sick. Also, I don't go into work if there is a lot of snow or rain.

    i wish i was some of you guys! i never stay home on any of my 4 days. i can probably count all the times ives taken off in the last year... 1 because i felt like hanging out with my bf (who was my ex at the time), 1 bc my license was suspended til i got my breathalyzer in, 2 nights when i was in nyc with my mom, and theres one more im thinking of that i cant remember the reason. im sick and i went in wed and im going in tonight, too.

    i leave early a lot, though. i used to never but now i do on the weekdays if i feel like it.. ive usually been up since 6:30am and it gets to the point where i dont care.

    i always feel like im going to miss something. its going to drive me crazy when i get my BA.

    usually i stay home because im mentally/physically exhausted. i'll also go back home if i show up there are tons of girls working and its not busy. we dont have schedules so i can work whenever i feel like it! which is awesome if i wake up to go to work but feel like ive been hit by a train - dont have to work ! but that can also suck when 50 girls show up to work
