    Default Do you work when you have a cold/are sick?

    I have a mild cold and I'm contemplating whether or not I should go to work... it is Friday after all and it's the middle of March Madness! A lot of girls still work even though they are sick. I was wondering if this is a no-no? If you do work while you are sick what is the best medicine to take? Or what are some good tips. I used to get sick from work often and then I discovered airborne from SW and it kept me from getting sick for over 2 months, but now I'm sick again, boo .

    I would... depending on how crappy I feel, though. If it's just a mild cold and there's a ton of money... try it... Just be careful. You don't want to work yourself too hard and stay sick for longer.

    If it's a day of the week that is usually very slow, or if I really feel like total crap, then I don't work. But if it's a Friday night, or especially a Saturday (our busiest night) then I suck it up and go in and hope the usually good money is worth it.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    You can get it at walmart for around $5... there are other things similar to it like ester-c. They are little round wafers that you dissolve in some water like alka-selzter tablets and drink before you go to work and it helps prevent you from catching a cold.

    Try cold eeze its suppose to shorten sick time and also take vitamin C.

    I've worked w/ a minor cold once, I just took a bunch of cold medicine & didn't drink alcohol that night. Just try to drink lots of water & OJ. Hope you feel better soon..

    Thank you ladies! I think I'm going to skip work and go to the gym and the tanning salon and wax my kitty lol... and work extra hard tomorrow.

    I know that echincea (sp?), iron, cold-eeze, vitamin C, jamba juice coldbuster smoothies, airborne, zicam, etc. all help ease and shorten colds but I'm so scared that my body is getting immune to these things! I've even tried acupunture and that nasty herbal stuff you brew and drink.

    I'm going to try to take it easy and get rest... maybe swim instead of run?

    Zicam works wonders for me when I'm sick.It shortens the duration of the cold.

    This sounds nasty but it works. Boil a medium size onion in a medium sauce pan take the water and use it for tea. Put rum and honey in it. Chug it. You'll fall asleep quickly and tomorrow the phlegm will come right out and you'll be clear as a bell.

    NO! You will spread it to all your customers and other girls. This is very irresponsible. At my club, we freak out if we hear a girl coughing. Better to stay home and rest than be the reason your favorite single mom and all her kids get the flu.

    yes don't forget to take zicam, that stuff works really well.. just make sure you don't get the oral spray-it tastes like you are spraying liquid metal in your mouth-yuck! The cherry tablets are the best.

    I have a cold. I'm suposed to work today but I think I'm gonna call in. It's just a head cold but I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow and I don't want to jeopardize the quality of my vacation. I'll be angry if I spend most of it doped up on Theraflu in my hotel room. Sometimes, you just gotta ask yourself what's more important...

    NO. Besides from being inconsiderate all-around, if you are sniffling on the stages don't be surprised if people approach you as a hookup for coke.

    Zicam is great stuff... I'd also suggest doing the onion tea thing... Just to tell me if it worked or not. Crazy.

    Um....try coughing in a customer's face some time, and see if he minds.

    I think it's pretty inconsiderate to work when sick. Considering the type of work we do and the close proximity everybody is in to everyone else, a club could be a virus paradise.

    No. I don't work sick. It makes getting better take longer and causes other people to become sick and the next thing you know half the clubs dancers and staff are out sick.

    Working sick is bad for business.

    Okay, not only was I sick but I was on my period at the same time... so I haven't worked in over a week. The good thing is, my cold is gone- yay! If I worked Friday and Saturday, I would probaby had made my cold worse and last longer... and get others sick. The thing I was the most worried about was having a runny nose on stage and sneezing on a guy during a lap dance, hehehehe . Not sexy!
