I'm getting really tired of dancing lately. I wish I could find a "real" full-time job in my field by now. I completed my Bachelor's degree in math this past December and am seeking a job in finance, but despite my smarts/qualifications I am really terrible at landing jobs. I'm kinda getting burned out on dancing at my current club in Philly, despite it being such a nice club. The money has sucked lately, I resent the fact that I have to lie about my job to my family & random guys I meet, I resent missing out on a social life because I work nights(I don't make as much $ working days), and then there's the health issue. Not only does dancing provide NO healthcare benefits, but it is a germfest work environment which has made me very sick multiple times this season. I almost fear my health working so many shifts, but I need the money, esp since I missed a lotta shifts a few weeks ago when I was sick with parotiditis(I know, it's a catch 22!!!).
Tonight was exceptionally bad! The customers were LOUSY and I only left with like 100 bucks. That's TERRIBLE money for stripping, esp considering all the taunting that I had to put up with tonight. At one point, I literally told some fugly afro-bearded dude that I wanted to stick a 12" dildo up his ass. (That is because the cheap bastard initially asked "can I squeeze your nipples?" For a dollar?! And he didn't even have any money out. So I said "maybe in the couchroom" and he said "I'm gonna touch your pussy in the couchroom" so that's when I made the dildo comment. The whole time, he didn't tip a single cent to me, but if he did, I woulda never said my dildo comment.) Another time, some drunk blithering idiot who resembled the loser from Offspring's "Pretty fly for a white guy" music video, was mocking me and kept teasing me by waving a dollar bill in front of my face as if I was a dog playing "catch" and refused to give me the dollar until I did the very rude thing I saw another girl do one time, basically DEMAND a dollar from him then he mocked me by saying "You're doing all that, just for a dollar?" Needless to say, I did NOT go sit with him after collecting my tips inside the bar, like he asked me to. God for 100 lousy bucks, I'd rather wait tables at TGI Friday's, where at least I can keep my fucking clothes ON. My one friend was one of the only people who did good tonight, and I guess other people caught on to this, because she had over $100 stolen from her. Meanwhile the DJ was ready to rip his hair out, because the girls were acting like prissy snobs and making all these demands. And the housemom was also a victim of theft, done outside of work by a fellow dancer at our club. I think we all hated our club tonight!!![]()
I'm sick of it!! Do I just need a change of scenery? I don't know. Thing is, I'm a VERY tolerant(and friendly, believe it or not!) person and no matter how much chaos there might be, I can deal with it as long as I'm making MONEY. But lately, I've really sucked at making money at my club, with the exception of a few good days sprinkled on occasion...but that's not enough. I'm strongly considering moving up the date of my Atlantic City daytrip, so that I can start auditioning at some of those Atlantic City clubs very soon. Maybe those clubs will make me more money, esp if I'm a fresh face? I don't know but I hope so. Because I don't know how I will be able to last through an entire dead summer at my Philly club, nor do I know how I'll make any kinda "real" money. On the other hand, my recent motivation to get work experience in my field, has made me kinda resent having to dance so much. Last summer, I worked at cold empty dungeon-of-a-club Wizzards, didn't make shit money-wise, wasted away my whole summer at work, and had no fun because I was constantly at work and couldn't afford anything otherwise...I better not have another rotten summer this year!![]()
