I don't post much, because I never have a lot to say--just like to read through the advice and stories and such..., but tonight I feel the need to share.
Tonight, right as I left the stage, I saw three guys I know from high school walking in the door of my club. I ran for the dressing room, and asked the bartender to come talk to me for a second. I explained I would rather these guys didnt see me. She said they were regulars, and that if I stopped dancing then, I would be fired. Seeing as I don't trust these guys to not tell a lot of other people I know (I work about an hour away from where I grew up), I said if I had to be fired, I would, as long as I could leave then. The very nice bouncer helped me get out the door without being seen by these guys. I totally thought this bartender was nicer than this (and yes, she does have the authority to fire dancers).
I just can't believe I was fired because of this. Why couldnt I just stay in the back until they left? I realized I dont really want to work somewhere where apparently these guys I know are regulars anyway, but I still feel mad about it.
Theres also the fact that this was my only job and now I have to find another. I haven't auditioned before, this club just hired me after seeing me in street clothes. I'm afraid I won't be a good enough dancer to get a job somewhere else. So I am scared for my money situation.
Thanks to all who read this venting, I kinda just needed to sort through it. This sucks.
