    Default Working when Sick?

    I havent been this sick in a couple years. Its the sore throat part thats been kicking my ass since Sunday. I need money this week though so my question is have u ever banked on a night when u felt vey sick??? I can deal with stomach sickness but my whole face and chest feels nasty and the rest of my body feels sluggish.

    It's not fair to get those other hard working dancers sick too...

    Nope, if I've been sick like that I've ended up going home coz I felt so unwell.

    Not to mention your body needs rest to recover. If u work u will stay sicker for longer and end up missing more work. Take the night off.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    you are gonna wind up getting your customers and fellow dancers sick...
    if I were you I'd stay home to recover and then come back and work extra hard to bank the days you lost.

    Depends on what you got. Strep then stay away from the club. Just bad allergies then go in. Figure out what you have and how long you'll be contagious.
    I'll go in sick if I have to. If it's not coming out the front or the back then I'm good to go. I just lysol everything and constantly wash my hands.

    It's really up to you. If you decide to go in, try to keep it away from the other girls and don't tell a soul. Otherwise, every sickness for the next month could be blamed on you.

    Thank you! I feel the same way.

    Plus, having this achy throat and chest will not be good considering you'll be working in a smoky environment.

    Again, I think it's unfair to the other dancers you work with to come in sick.

    Usually, I'm against it, but I had some kind of freak mutant virus that had me sick for well over two weeks and I had to work a few days. I got sick on June 24th and didn't get better until the 11th of this month. It was horrible.

    If you don't think you're contagious and you're not visibly sick, see what you can tolerate. When I was sick a bit ago, I couldn't NOT cough up crap and then hack a while uncontrollably - it was just a reflex. Obviously that's not ok on stage and no one would buy from me. No worky.

    With allergies, I can sniff while being subtle and suppress a cough. Worked out fine.

    I've worked when sick. Usually I agree with whats been said about staying away so as not to infect other dancers but sometimes you need money and have no other choice. I've never banked when I've been sick but it is still possible to make some cash. Get yourself dosed up with any medication you need, if your shivery wear something more covered like a gown and stockings, drink loads of fluids, keep yourself off stage as this will keep your energy up and lessen the risk of getting sick to other dancers, and take lots of breaks, when I'm sick I can only manage a couple of dances without needing a break. Don't kill yourself, make as much as you need then go home back to bed.
