Well, I quit my club last night partly because of the DJ. I don't know why he dislikes me, probably because I assumed he was being tipped to let girls leave early when I should have been one of the first to do so (this is NOT ok at the club, we aren't allowed to bribe the DJ.) Well I confronted him and he said that he hadn't been paid so I let it slide.
Last night every time we had a dance special, instead of hustling for another dance I had to go on stage directly after. So it seemed like all I did was dance specials and stage work, specials amount to $15 for two dances instead of the regular 40, this DOES NOT ADD UP.
Well, I kept trying to remember when I was on or off the stage and I accidenally got off the stage when I had two more songs (we work on three stages two songs per stage.) Yes, six songs is overkill! And we had very few dancers so I was up on stage pretty much every half hour for a half an hour.
In any case I went up to him at the end of the night to tell him I want to double with another girl and he chews me out for having got off the stage earlier in the night. I must add, that when I realized my mistake I jumped back on it and finished my set.
I made an honest mistake and was pretty worn out from being on and off and on and off every few minutes.
I don't like problems and always apologize if I realize that I offended the dj, but this one wouldn't let me say anything so I let him scream at me and promptly left the club. I had someone tip him for me(yes, I still paid him). I told my fave manager that I didn't appreciate being yelled at, he didn't either.
Well, the DJ said he didn't know that all I wanted was to ask to double up. What did he think I wanted to chit chat? Well, he tried to defend himself by saying I had said nothing about wanting to double up, well when you are screaming at me, what am I supposed to say?
So, I think I am done at that club. I left early so they would want to fine me and I am not about to pay it. There are many other reasons why I have wanted to leave that place (one of which being a dancer was able to walk around in one of those thong-shorts that tie at the side with her butt hanging, but for some reason none of the other dancers can, we all have to wear skirts or dresses no shorts.)
Grrrrrrr.....
I've had it out with a few DJs, sometimes their fault somtimes mine, but I have NEVER been chewed out! Especially over a stupid mistake I had made hours before. I think this is one relationship that I can't mend with a "sorry" on either side.
Just had to get it all out. I'll be going to a club that has a juke box and we don't have a DJ to tip so maybe this is for the best. One less person to possibly get tired of.
