    Default New Years Resolution - Getting to Work

    I'm so silly - one of the most important, yet obvious (but easily overlooked) pieces of advice that I've learned is that one needs to CHANGE something in order to obtain different results; afterall, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.

    I guess I may be too hard on myself, though, as I've tried to find different ways of getting myself to go into work - asking for advice on this board, telling customers that I'd be in (the money wasn't enough pull and it wasn't a regular), getting new outfits that I thought would motivate me, etc. Well, I've finally decided to actually give the club a schedule. My 2nd job is steady enough, at this point, as well as flexible enough, that I don't have to worry about going in. Therefore, there's no excuse, besides my horrible period, to call out. Awhile ago, I did give mngmt a letter from my gyno that explained how debilitating that my period symptoms can be, so I'm sure that they'd understand a call-out.

    So...even though I don't really, typically, make New Years' resolutions, I will this year: I will put myself on the schedule for work at least 2x/week. I used to think that it was so great that I didn't have to adhere to a schedule, but the cons are really outweighing the pros.

    Hope this works out for you! I also have a hard time talking myself into going in (like tonight for example).

    ^ me 3! I haven't worked for a week. I just keep justifying it by saying I'll work harder in January.

    This has also made my new years resolutions list: to work at least 4-5 days per week. Our club requires only a 5 hour minimum so this should not be difficult to maintain. My husband and I are saving up for our own tattoo shop and I really want this badly - it will be my exit from dancing. I am determined.

    Hey you're a normal dancer.

    I pick two days that I will always be at the club no matter what. The other days are open or for when regulars want to make it in to see me.

    I really like this!! I always say to myself, "Next week, I'm working 6 days in a row!" and then when it doesn't happen I'm mad at myself and get down. I'm gonna try this tip and see how it goes!

    ^^ If only it was making more and then keeping it! Nothing makes me more 'ugh' than working my butt off all night, having a good night, and then the next morning going to my school Bursars Office and handing it all over. Feel like my school is my pimp sometimes lol!

    oh my god i totally relate to this. i have decided that i cannot iive in NOLA long term until i mature a bit because the being able to go in whenever i want is totally killing me. I used to work 4-5 nights a week on top of a fulltime job (summer) or school (rest of the yr). This week ive struggled to get myself to work twice a week?!?! Wtf? and here i am right now, posting on teh interwebs, making it so i wont be on the floor till midnight.

    Ok, i think its time to get outta here. hah.

    but seriously, no schedules will be the death of me. im way to irresponsible for that right now!
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Yep... I just got my tuition bill... yay! I was joking with the girls at work that I am working every night for the rest of my life. LOL. Too bad I was too hung over to go in tonight but the boss said there was tons of girls on and I probably only missed out on 200-300 since its sunday night here.

    I've always worked a three day schedule every week for two years (except those occasional times when I'm sick or am visiting family). I've bumped up to four times a week (32 hours); five is just too hard on my body.
