Club Nitro is only open Wed-Sat, 7-4am. If you arrive at 7, you have to stay until 4 am, a 9 hour shift, but your stage fee is the lowest (30 dollars). Each hour and a half that goes by, your stage fee gets higher. The most ideal time for me to work is 10-4, anything over 6 hours is just too much, i'll deal with the 40-45 housefee. The problem is, I WANT to work 4 days a week, but I've never worked consecutive days, my body just can't handle it- i WISH it was open 7 days a week so I could have a day off in between.
I really need to be working as much as possible right now. I worked Wednesday and Thursday back to back, and this morning when I woke up my tonsils were swollen, my throat was sore and I was congested- a sign my immune system was low from too much physical activity, contact with strangers/germs, not enough rest or food. I rested all day, and I feel better now, especially after taking goldenseal, echinacea and nettle with tons of water- but I wish that I could work every day the club is open without feeling like this!!!
If you really wanted/needed to work 4 days a week, would you just suck it up and deal? I just feel like if I push myself too hard I'm going to end up injuring myself and looking like shit from stress. I'm thinking next week I'm going to work Wed, Friday and Saturday, so I'll atleast have one day off in between, and my consecutive shifts will be busy shifts so it will be totally worth feeling like shit wakingup in the morning.
Does anyone else have this problem?? There are 15 hours between shifts!! I get home at 5 and then get ready for the club at 8... it really makes it so I have no time for my life if i have to work consecutive days. It is good though because then I get sun-tues off...
What would you do if this was your club's schedule?? I think it also might be especially taxing on my body because it's open til 4am, and staying up THAT late messes with my circadian rhythm and hormone levels.
I can't wait until there's enough dancers/customers to be open 7 days a week....
For those of you who do work consecutive days.... how the heck do you do it???? I woke up this morning feeling like absolute hell.
