    Default I'm leaving

    I am not going to dance any longer. We are going to make our finances work until I have a new job. I have 4 interviews set up next week, and if I needed to short-term I could help a friend out and make enough money per week. I emotionally can't handle many different aspects of this job. I have TOTAL respect for those of you that can. I feel like it's jeopardizing my mental stability and my relationship. There are other options out there for me. I know longer feel like I control my job, I feel like the industry is controlling me. Mad props to all of you!!

    I wish I had my school and finances in a position where I could walk away. Congratulations and best wishes to you in your endeavors.

    Funny, I've spent the day looking for a straight job too. I'm also getting out as soon as possible. Much luck!

    Good luck honey. I'm glad you're getting out if that's what you want. I hope things get better for you. How about drunk chat in an hour and some change?

    Thanks for the support. I'll try to be in, but I might just wanna cuddle with my guy. We had a huge argument, I slammed the door in his face and said something mean like "Fine, I'll just go to the job I hate because you're making me!" We talked it out about 30 minutes ago and things are much better. sigh.

    Good for you for realizing that this isn't what you need right now. I've gone through so many cycles where I refuse to walk away because of the easy money, even though I would get panic attacks the whole day before work. Way to take your life into your own hands!

    Good luck, babe. I stopped a month ago, and my current project is learning how to live on very little money. I stayed for a long time for the easy money, until I realized that for me, the money just wasn't easy anymore.

    So...anybody got any good recipes for beans?

    I feel ya hun. I just did the same thing - going back to school and start Monday. Im tired of dancing, I had to adjust our expenses but its ok. At this point the plan is for me to go to Reno and dance when I get the itch but not to plan any of my dancing money as needed income so itll be for extras and savings. Theres nothing wrong with being done with dancing but that doesnt mean you have to leave the site! Theres a button on your profile where you can make your occupation "retired dancer" for a reason!

    LOL... I don't think i'm "going anywhere"!
    It'll take more than that to get me outta here.
    I meant I'm leaving..as in the industry.
    As far as bean recipes: Great Northern Beans, and the cans of diced zesty tomatoes...mmmmm

    Good luck to you, hope the next thing goes well.

    I'm trying to find something else to do to make rent this month myself, though I'm still really into dancing and would like to go back to it sometime when Portland is less sucky.

    hahaha dont sweat it babe stick it out for a while im sure u did made the right decision it just takes a little adjusting going back to a regular job. wat r your job interviews for? im applying for a full-time position in an adult store. at least that way i dont have to hide my showgirl past and may actually help me get the job since they will know im comfortable in that environment and i have experience with toys and costumes and all that stuff

    I'm interviewing with a few families as a nanny. I worked in the field for 5 years before, and still have great references. I kept up my babysitting and such while dancing so that helps.
    My concern really comes down to I'm already feeling badly about feeling "dependent". I'm thinking I'd rather be unhappy with my job for a short period of time, knowing that there is an end in near, than feel dependent. I need to figure this shit out. Like yesterday.
    It's not that I HATE dancing. I think it's more I hated the club I was in. Too many extras happening (not from me), too many customers expecting it. Maybe if I hang low and work just a few weeknights while I'm job hunting I'd be ok. I can't do the weekend nights..the anxiety is too high for that shit.
    I'm so fucking confused.

    ^ I hear you.. I was sure I was done with dancing like 2 weeks ago. I'm just not done.. it's sucky right now but I love making my own schedule and getting all dressed up! I didn't work 2 weeks ago because I "quit" and I made myself take this past weekend off too just to give me a little more of a break. I'm going in again this weekend.

    I don't think you ever really "quit" stripping.. you just kinda leave it for a while. Just remember, it's always still there if that's what you want to do
