    Default Gonna cut down work hours cuz i'm old

    I work 4 days a week, usually every week and I don't think I can do it anymore. My feet, legs, knees, back and neck all hurt. I never have energy to work out and I feel unhealthy from the second hand smoke, the drinking, the loud music, the grossness of everything. So, I'm going to cut out a day. I don't want to, but I think it's best.

    I looked back at my records and when I first started I was working 5 days a week no problem. I also was making half as much money as I am now, so it may be that I was sitting on my butt more. I'm hoping that was it instead of me just being old.

    I also wish the clubs hear were such that there was a Champagne room I could sell and go sit in all night. Can we please have 20 of the clubs shut down here, like Susan suggested in another thread, so we could have a half dozen genuinely busy places, where I could sit my ass in a VIP room? Please. I'm tired of breaking a sweat.

    Anyway, good bye money. Hello healthy holiday.

    At least you've decided to start putting yourself first. I also want to commend you for working 4x a week. That's a big task well in itself. So, what are your plans since you'll be taking off one extra day?

    p.s. You're NOT old..

    Sitting on your ass all night in the CR can be draining too believe it or not . Also, to maintain dancer shape I have to work out everyday for 90 minutes before I even go into work, since I'm not as active at work. ( Although today I've been in bed SWing all day before I go to work, LOL)

    You're not old but I can't stress the importance enough of not burning yourself out and taking care of your body. You may find yourself able to put forth more effort in those three days and maintain your current income.

    I was your age when I first started dancing. And yes, you do need to pace yourself. Drinking can be a real problem as you get older. Your liver isn't as efficient at ridding your body of toxins and you feel hung over for longer. Also make sure you are getting enough sleep on the days you work.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    ^Agreed. A doctor told a dancer I worked with that she had the lungs of a 5 year heavy smoker even though she didn't smoke. It was from the second hand smoke.

    Good for you. Honestly i make more money per week when I work less days, simply because I am really committed to busting my ass every second I am at work .... when I work like five days a week, forget it, I get bored and lasy. 3 is my magic number, I heart 3 12 hour days a week.

    Aw, it's important to take care of yourself. I don't think you're old; just tired!

    Also, perhaps if you cut down on the drinking, or get them to make your drinks extra-wussy, you'll have more energy. Drinking four days a week has to be tiring! I too look forward to the smoking ban -- will make it nicer for everyone. I smoke and I support it, heh.

    If you are working nights you may also consider the mid or dayshift, depending ofcourse on your area and if these shifts ar worth it $ wise.

    Vampire hours really do take it's toll after awhile. I found that I could work just as many shifts with less impact to my mood and over all health by switching just the shift time.

    To reiterate cutting down drinking does wonders for my energy level and my over all well being.

    Also, I don't know if you drink energy drinks, eliminating or cutting down on those helps me get more restful sleep and thus be more refreshed for my next shift.

    You know, just cutting out the alcohol and having fake drinks and water shots could make all the difference. Alcohol has lots of (empty) calories, and more than one drink a day isn't very good for you, especially when you're regularly drinking more than one drink.

    I hear you on the second hand smoke. That made me sick at the end of the night every time. Luckily my new club forces girls to go to a separate smoking room.

    Oh, also if you need caffeine to stay awake, brew some super strong black tea at home and bring it with (iced or hot). You'll be MILDLY caffeinated (thus not jittery) and you'll be getting antioxidants (though not as much as you'd get in green tea). If you think tea isn't strong enough, just get a coffee from Starbucks or Caribou or something. One cup of coffee a day is extremely good for your kidneys. Just stay away from the sugary vanilla bullshits (I love Curb Your Enthusiasm), since the sugar crash is counteractive.

    ^^ hehe. I like those. And it's true, I've thrown out my back TWICE this year and that subsequently put me out of commission for a week.

    I'm going to cut down on the drinking. That is a great suggestion. I'm also going to stretch before and after work. I honestly get so sore sometimes.

    Thanks for the support though girls.

    And I AM old, maybe you guys just don't know it....

    Well, the big three zero is looming large on my horizon, so I may just be freaking over that. Summer, that is very cool about the stretches. I'd LOVE that. My mid back is always crunched and my legs of course are tired.

    Do you still think you can go out Thursday night to check out that club?? I'd be down for that.

    oh & in reference to that new Spyce Gentlemen's Club, I had a chance to check it out this weekend, it was still going threw the remodeling & interior design, but it looks like it'll be a relatively small but classy place. you girl's have to let me know how it looks this weekend....

    How's this: you look good enough to make good money dancing naked.

    Thus, you're not old
