    Default Work tonight or recharge my energy?

    I got back from a 10-day Hawaii trip on Monday night, then went back to work the following Tuesday (yesterday). I traveled both Sunday and Monday and it dragged on and on due to a layover, so I was pretty exhausted at work last night and made the least amount of money I've made in a long time. I just didn't feel my usual energetic, hustle-y self at all.

    I still feel that exhausted feeling today that kept me out of my money-making zone last night. I'm on the schedule to work ($20 call out fee) and Wednesdays are usually pretty good, but part of me feels like maybe I'd be better off recharging for a couple days and then returning over the weekend feeling refreshed.

    I have plenty of money to hold me over and all that, but I'm saving for a boob job I'm having on June 29th and need about $1000 more and about another $3000 total after that for my time off. I can normally earn that in 2 weeks or so no problem but it does make me feel kind of more determined to go in....though that's how I felt last night going in, then soon regretted not resting more.

    I'm just curious what more experienced dancers think about knowing when to take a few days off vs sucking it up and going in. I legitimately have a hard time telling which way is the right way to go sometimes. Thanks

    Ooooh Hawaii! Niiiice!

    I went there a couple years back and had the opposite effect when I came back to work. I made more than I usually did. Perhaps because I was burned out before I left and the trip helped me feel better so when I came back I had a renewed sense of energy that reflected in my work coming back.

    Maybe you're still in vacation mode?!? Go with your gut. Jet lag can slow you down. And It sounds like taking a couple days off wouldn't set you back too much from your short term goals.

    I most experience burnout after having time off. Like...BURNOUT. "Over it"ness. I tell myself I'm just taking a break, but when I try to go back, I'm just ​done.

    If you can pull through it, why not. Don't miss out of the cash if you dont have to. There is always room for more

    So you need to make $4000 before June 29, which is in over a month. I think it's totally doable. I would take a couple of days off and rest. Sure you'll make some money if you go.. but I'd rather work less and make more on the shifts that I work, thank work a bunch of shifts and make mediocre amounts.
