    Remember the one time you made 1k in a shift, dwell and be miserable it never happened again.
    "There are different kinds of darkness. There is darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful. There is the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. It is not wholly bad or good."
    - The Court of Mist and Fury

    Not trying to be racist but in Phx they're a groping pain in the ass 90% of the time, and the short conversations usually consist of "How much for sex? Why you no do that? Not even for $xxx?"

    WAY better idea: Try to work in a club where this is the main customer base. Those old white businessmen types are stuffy and boring anyway!

    Edit: DorienG, I'm sorry this is actually your situation. Props to you, I've got no idea how you can handle it! (And yes, I am relatively proficient in Spanish.....but it wasn't helpful for me.)

    Continue going in to work when you're struggling with something in your personal life, and be sure to tell all of your customers about what you're going through. It's always a great idea to invite strangers into emotions that you haven't even begun to process yet.

    Haha for me:

    *Work 5-7 days a week and justify it by the fact I'm 24 I started late I need to catch up on all the money I could've saved but lost out on because I was too scared to dance from 18-23
    *Never attempt to go out and meet people for the fear of the dreaded question "so what do you do?"
    *Never take a Friday or Saturday night off because a night out is not worth missing out on the $500+ you would likely make working
    *Worry immensely about what the mangers, hospitality, and other dancers think/say about you
    *Blow off things like cleaning your place or cooking a decent meal because going straight to work and grabbing food on the way will allow you to go in earlier and potentially make more money
    *Take everything customers say about you to heart
    *Read reviews of your club constantly to see if anyone posted anything about you
    *Oh yeah and the leaving for work during rush hour thing was spot on lol

    Tell friends, family, and strangers where you work so you'll constantly worry that someone you know will show up unexpectedly during your shift.

    sign up for expensive money draining private fashion uni, study 5 days and work 4 nights and somehow still find time to intern.

    depress yourself about your inability to do this one simple thing of making and spending hundreds on your education in the same day, while eating cup noodles by candle light coz you cant afford to pay your bills on time.

    promptly drop out and try a cheaper course thats only 2 years instead of the 3 uni years. overwork yourself, party everynight with coworkers and through a severe anxiety condition until you inevitably fail half your subjects.

    panic about being stuck in dancing forever and the fact that you started this for fun and extra cash and come to the realisation that somehow 6 years have gone by and you managed to not get ahead with your life. panic about not having any 'real' friends whom you cant connect with over their opinion of your dancing.

    consider enrolling in any and every direction of study. tell yourself no matter how much you cannot bring yourself to do another shift, youre probably fine to pull through another uni degree if you have that to motivate you.

    come to your senses and complete a one year diploma program cursing every day that goes by about not coming to your senses and do anything less ambitious any sooner

    stay in contact with old regulars once you quit, because you dont know how to break up with them and what if theres an emergency and you need to dance again anyway
    FUCK YEAH finally retired after 6 years dancing!!

    Experience multiple significant deaths (parents, extended family, pets, close friends.) Don't take time off. Stop yourself from grieving because puffy, red eyes are ugly.

    Develop complicated grief and depression. Don't take time off because bills. It'll go away eventually, right? And everyone's so fucked up that they won't notice you sobbing in the corner of the locker room.

    Choose a club that doesn't have it's shit together. Make sure the managers are either absentee, drunk or are powerless. The doorstaff should be chilling with customers and the DJ's sniffing for pussy rather than doing their jobs.

    Make sure that every emotionally wrecked person you know has your number and that they call you whenever they have a problem they want to cry over. Bonus points if it doesn't occur to them to see how you're doing and they call you while drunk.

    Work through injuries. All of them. Broken feet aren't a big deal.

    Lust after a very hot player you work with. Plan your shifts around his schedule. Definitely don't do anything about your crush and DEFINITELY don't date anyone else.

    Do not have a social life. In fact, be a complete hermit. If you get lonely, adopt another special needs pet.

    Work your ass off and try not to spend money on anything unnecessary. When you do spend money on something, spend a lot of effort to make sure it's bargain basement cheap.

    When the inevitable nervous breakdown hits, keep working. You'll get over it.

    I'm beyond burned out.

    1) Use work as a distraction from the fact that you are in the middle of leaving an abusive relationship with a sociopathic narcissist who continually uses the kids and your dancing as leverage in an attempt to blackmail you to stay.

    2) Bonus points for going to work with fresh scratch marks around your neck where he tried to choke you. Tell yourself you're too strong to let A little thing like DV get in the way of your $$$.

    3) No matter how mentally "done" you are by 1:30, push yourself to stay till close or you are a lazy/mentally weak dancer even if you made your goal.

    3) Listen to girls gossip in the locker room and make sure to participate (something I actually avoid like the plague because I'm an introvert and prone to anxiety attacks.)

    A few things I forgot:

    Live on a diet of fast food and copious amounts of Rockstar. It'll ensure that you always have 5 pounds to lose and a reason to hate your body. The massive amounts of caffeine will destroy your sleep cycle. Which leads to...

    Sleep is for the weak.

    Make grand plans for incredible changes in your life and it must not be subtle. Quit caffeine, cigarettes and junk food all at the same time. Beat yourself up when it doesn't work out and you go right back to your old habits.

    Pay close attention to the news and stock your Twitter feed with discussion over every horrible thing that happens in the world. Take it all very personally.

    Get to a point of exhaustion and so deplete yourself of give-a-fucks that bathing or basic housekeeping is just not happening, especially when you're a very fastidious person who bathes twice a day and must brush your teeth after eating.

    Don't ever treat yourself to anything nice. Put new brakes on your car, because you can rationalize that as a safety issue. Don't buy a new pair of jeans because, even though they're disintigrating, they're still mostly functional and won't get you in trouble for indecent exposure yet. At the same time, buy nice things for other people because you love them and want them to be happy.

    Listen to all of the girls who come up to you with a long face and defeated posture who complain that there's no money in the club. Believe them.

    Yeah. I really have to do something about this.

    And STOP wasting money on tuition! Other girls make more than you because they're not preoccupied with school, not because of the extras they do. Oh, and cry yourself to sleep when someone you consider less attractive outearns you.

    Only work once or twice a month. You'll feel like you're staving off burnout by minimizing your time in the club, but really, you're just increasing the pressure to make bank every time you work. Which is super fun, amirite?

    You've got five hours to earn $800+. Go!

    Yep - LOL!

    Got PTS? Who cares, your mind and soul is not important. You are only a money-making machine. Just ignore the anxiety and horrible feelings and go to work anyway! Also, don't ever go to therapy because it's too expensive! Just go to work instead and keep getting drunk so that guys will continue to push your boundaries all night. Who needs therapy when you could be making money!

    Aim to get to the club just before fees hit the highest bracket. Then procrastinate some more once you're ready. It's not like you'd make it on time, and all that matters is how much you pay, not how much time you have to hustle!

    If you habitually reward yourself for working, start mentally adding the cost of these treats onto your list of club fees that you have to pay before you actually start making money. That $100 massage you're treating yourself to? Yep, you guessed it, that just became another financial burden!!

    Become obsessed with your profit margins...Mentally deduct the week's house fees and tip outs, gas, food etc. from what you made in one shift and start to panic that you won't break even. Develop a serious scarcity mindset, and ignore the reality that your bills are always paid and you're fine.

    Put showing up to class and homework on the back burner. Why focus on your education when you could be making $$$?

    ^It's funny, I got made fun of at my first club for "wasting" money on nursing school. One girl I gave a ride home to went so far to sabotage me, took clinical paperwork out of the back seat at three am that was due at seven am. So, instead of sleeping for three hours, I had to redo it from scratch.
