    Default I'm so blah about this lately... (tiny little rant)

    I don't know what to do anymore. I have no energy and no desire to do this job right now, and because of this I have completely lost my hustle. I just don't seem to care whether I make money or not, even when there are guys to offer dances too, albeit not many. There were between three and five guys in my club last night and I made enough to pay house fee and that's it. Considering how much money I made last summer, my husband keeps telling me to just give it a little more time, but it's so hard to keep going in to an empty club! The guys have also started (maybe some were doing this all along) sitting just far enough away from the stage so they dont have to tip but can watch all they want. I'm completely sick of the whole thing and I wish I could get one good money night so I could get back some of my excitement and start feeling good about going to work again. I can't even get a day job to supplement bc my classes are all over the place. Though tbh, I really don't want a day job. This is starting to depress me though and I don't know what to do about it. I'm stuck at the club I'm at and it's actually one of the best in the area so the sad part is that I'm making more than I would be anywhere else.

    Anyway, thanks for listening, I have no one to really whine too bc my husband, while he's wonderful and tries, just doesn't get it and still thinks I have an "easy" job.

    unfortunately with the economy i think several of us are in the same boat. Maybe try taking a week off, I did and i feel much better now.

    Its hard to get excited for the dead nights, but I try to find ways to make myself look foward to work to keep me from getting down about how quiet it is. For instance, I look foward to the fact that i get to excersise. Ill try something new on the pole if its dead and if i get it down then i will have something to glow about for the rest of the night. Also i can get excited for looking pretty and what not... If im bored ill try doing something new and fun with my makeup which can distract me until it gets busier later (if it does get busier). I wish things were busier, but i make the best of the situation in the mean time.

    I feel you on this. Lately there have been some really bad nights, which would be okay if there were really GREAT nights to balance it. But lately, I haven't been having great nights. Just good ones and occasional horrible ones. So it ends up feeling very below-average.

    I guess we just have to keep our chins up.

    I understand this. I worked at an amazing club last fall and made more than enough to go to Europe and just hang out for a couple months....I've back in the US for a little while and entered an amateur contest at a different club and WON and had an awesome time doing it.....so I figured "hey, why not go and actually work at this club and make some extra cash?"....went in last week and made $130 and I don't even know how. I had no motivation, desire....it just didn't feel right anymore. I felt depressed just being there. I don't know if I'm capable of being a dancer at this point in my life.

    Although, it's definitely a direct result of the economy as well....it takes a strong mind to be able to deal with empty clubs.....I just can't do it and I applaud those of you who can. I wish it wasn't so easy to give up and go home.

    Sorry to hear that, I totally understand when you just lose interest in the job. I would definately recommend taking some time off or even try a different club. Sometimes a change of scenary can be a good thing.

    It sounds like you're burned out. I find that going to a new club, even just for one night, usually snaps me out of it. Why are you stuck at that club?

    This might sound overly simplistic,but I've found in the past it has worked for me when I've been depressed and in a rut-how 'bout a change in hair color or hair style? Do your make up a bit differently. Wear different colors and/or accessories.How 'bout dancing to some new/different music. Develop a new character,a new altar ego for yourself...create a history for yourself-something outlandish like you are the princess of some obscure island or that you just won millions in the lottery and that you only dance because you are practicing to give a lap dance to your a special man(your perfect,dream man)who is coming to the club anyday to surprise you with a wonderful gift(a multi carat engagement ring,a Rolls Royce,a private jet,a designer wardrobe,whatever)See how much fun this is?! I'm having fun myself. Take care. Warmest Wishes, Harlow

    i feel the same. my biggest problem is approaching the customers and trying to convinced them to say yes to me. i feel like i'm about to have an panic attack at the thought of asking them cause i'm so used to hearing no's these days.

    I think I am going to try the hair change thing. I've been wanting to change my look up for awhile for many reasons so maybe it will make it more fun for me. I can't go to another club bc the others are all too close to home and I can't be sure who i will run into and it is much safer for me to be an hr away. So I guess I'll work with what I have and try and make the best of it....

    Thanks all. I'm glad to know it's not just me. I was starting to think there was something really wrong.

    It sounds like you need a burn out vacation! We all go through this sometimes. Take a few days or a week, go someplace nice - treat yourself to the spa, then get back in the game.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.
