    Default January....UGH!

    I just had to put that out there. Tons of girls working and hardly any customers. A few of my regulars are staying out of the club because of over spending in December. I'm still doing ok, I've got a few wealthy retired businessmen who like to visit me, but the drama level among the other girls is going up.

    Too many girls and not enough money means that a lot of girls are getting into each other's business. Oh, and dressing room theft is up, too.

    Can't wait for February to get here. Tax refunds are usually good for some fresh faces.

    OOoh, thanks, I was thinking of auditioning..I know I been saying that, but it's been sooo brutally cold here too, & with all the factors, that doesn't help here either! Can't stand thieves either. So for now I'll just concentrate more on camming, but I definitely want to dance!

    Holy crap you're not alone. We had about a 4:1 dancer to customer ratio last night. 26 girls and 6 customers, only 3 of which were spending.

    February has traditionally always been the worst month around here, so even though there has been an increase in girls this month (they're migrating, trying to find a busy club even though they're all quieter than usual), I would still rather be in January!

    IRS is going to be unable to take tax returns til the last day of January, I believe, so that's also pushing back tax returns and the bump in business from that.

    ^I've noticed this as well lately. There are more girls (still in town over the holiday period or working due to University holidays, traveling etc) and fewer customers. It's our summer here, so people are out and about. It hasn't bee terrible, but I definitely feel mentally exhausted today after hustling so hard last night .

    It sucks. I'm making like 20-30% less than I was in the Fall (NOT counting when my regulars come in). I was lazy all December and didn't work much, and December is usually one of the busiest months. So now I'm forced to work more than I want to now that it's January which happens to be one of the slowest months. I'm still doing OK though and still have my regulars coming to see me which definitely helps when it's super slow!

    Theft.... oh yeah.

    My make up bag was stolen this weekend. Luckily my brushes were in a separate bag and it was just the stuff I re-do at the club, but still-- that's around $200 of make up (MAC eyeshadows, liquid liner, bronzer, Urban Decay powder, etc).

    I didn't lock up my locker, which was dumb. But I'm not used to girls stealing shit because I always work in clubs with cameras (which this one had).

    That sucks..this's why, i'm kinda afraid to start working in an sc..I'd basically have to bring in stuff I wouldn't miss right now I don't have a locking bag (not that there isn't ways around that) I would so hate to lose my boots, etc (the decent ones)..once I got a nice turtleneck stolen!

    ^I've only ever had make up stolen. I don't know it was weird, like I wouldn't want to steal eye make up from someone I don't know... eye make up is the most contaminated of make up products. I talked to the manager and he sounded really annoyed to have to look at the cameras so I figured just taking it as a learning lesson. Really I should only be bringing cheap make up with me to the club, I just don't usually buy cheap make up because I'm a MAC whore.

    Whoever did it was stupid thought because the brushes I brought with me were probably worth 2.5x what that was... and then the heels I wore to work were worth 3x! lol. I'm going in tomorrow when there won't be as many girls and I'm hoping I might find it there, though I doubt it. The dressing room was insane on Friday night so I couldn't see if it was there.

    I've been stolen from at a variety of jobs. Oh, and had friends and boyfriends have stolen from me at home. Sticky fingers are everywhere, just lock your stuff up and you should be fine.

    Yup, the clutch I was carrying all my makeup and stuff in was stolen from me at the end of the night. I never keep my money in my bag but of course, I did this one time. All my night's earnings, the clutch I loved, all my makeup, etc... all gone.

    If I find out who stole my Chi I'm going to shove it up their ass at 400 degrees then strangle them with the cord, THEN feed them to my pets.

    Yeah my manager says he's going to check the cameras (his next shift).

    I'm working a day shift today (bleh). Day shift in January doesn't sound fun but off I go!

    Lol. I had to thank that post. ^

    If the cameras reveal who stole my money I'd love to walk right up to the girl and punch her dead in her jaw, drag her across the floor while simultaneously punching her until her face breaks. And if she wears weave I'd love to also yank that out and set it on fire in front of her. But I get off probation next month so I'm not going to do that. I don't condone violence but I can't stand thieves! These girls need to get off their ass and make their own money.

    Oh and my customer western unioned me the money (he upped it to $750) and I can't even go pick up the cash b/c since it's -2 degrees, the car battery won't start so I can't even get anywhere.

    To make matter even better, the HIGH for tomorrow is 2 degrees, and the wind chill tomorrow will make it feel like it's -25 (yes, negative 25 degrees) yet my university still hasn't canceled classes. They'll regret that once students start turning into ice blocks on their way to class.

    Damn you, January!

    It is a pleasant surprise to me that I have been doing fairly well this month, as it is terribly cold. A lot of our customers live close to the club though, which helps. I wish I lived closer. Like, next door. It is supposed to hit negative 12 tonight.

    If it had been my crappy flatiron I use for my wigs I wouldn't give a fuck. But it was my CHI that I use for my "real" hair.
