    Default Getting a Dayjob...

    Yes!!! I'm sooo happy. I just got off the phone with a temporary agency, I'll be starting my assignment on Monday. I haven't had a "real job" in 8 months. I'm nervous yet I'm really looking forward to it. I'm going to continue to dance, and work my dayjob..to save up for my car. Hopefully this dayjob will give me some sanity. I go crazy sitting in my house all day watching Judge Judy, Y&R, and being on SW

    Jayda I love Ridge...hope you can share

    Congrats Cinnamonkisses! I love having a day job (I'm my own boss which really rocks!) it will help things feel more 'balanced' in your life...and it may make dancing more enjoyable...since it won't be your only source of income. My girlfriend does realestate duing the day and dances a few nights a week...she said she had no idea how much she was burnt out and not enjoying dancing as much till she got a day job and started seeing dancing diffrently.

    I start dancing this week...and I'm glad I have a day job...I think it will help a ton!

    CONGRATS!

    Awww thanks girls!!! I actually thought about ya'll today (there was no internet access so I was going nuts).

    Yea, today was a good day. I'm sooooooooo tired though..sheesh! The work I do isn't hard (data entry, etc) but good grief is my boss a pain She is so unorganized...She wanted me to do assignments that already had duplicate entries, or where missing valuable pieces of info that I needed to input the data *sigh* I was just happy when 4pm got here

    LoL! Hopefully being a temp won't make you crazier, I know it damn near killed me, work wasn't hard just boring. About Y&R, I hope Malcolm makes his way back to GC one last time, I'm really upset it turned out he's lily's father.

    I'm going to probably be looking for temp work soon, too. However, I know the mistakes to avoid because I attempted temp work + dancing + college before and I failed miserably.

    Less than a year ago, I took on a temp job but it only paid $9.50/hr but kept dancing my regular 5night/week schedule. The work was tedious and kinda basic(simple data entry), but I could tolerate the boredom; what I couldn't tolerate, however, was the overall decreased income it caused me. Yes, decreased. I was used to making around $1300-1500/week dancing five nights a week...that's 25hrs/week. When I worked the temp job, it added on 35hrs of work per week, but I only brought in a paycheck with net income of $256. But working 8:30am-4pm tired me out so much, that when I went to work 9pm-2am later that same day, I'd feel cranky and drained and unmotivated...this resulted in a major drop in my dancing earnings...more than a $256 drop. Along with temping and dancing, I was finishing my last semester of college...I was only part-time by this point, but still I had a shitload to deal with. Then my hectic work schedule tired me out so much that I got sick and had to call out of both jobs for a few days. Luckily I recovered right before my courses' final exams, and the sick time off from work allowed me more time to study, so I aced my courses. It's during the time that I was sick and needed to study, that I quit the temp job because I realized that it wasn't working. I learned the hard way that I shoulda altered my stripping schedule, or not worked so many stripping shifts!...for example, give myself at least one day off per week and work longer Saturday shifts so that I wouldn't have to work so many weekdays...sometimes working too hard can cost you more money than make you.

    I'm not opposed to temp work at all though, even temp work that doesn't pay very good, because it's a good reference for an entry-level resume. And the longer you temp, the more work experience you build, so that will make you more likely to land a better-paying job or a permanent full-time job with benefits. I just don't think it's for the strippers who need to overwork to get their lives/finances in check, as I was at the time that I was temping; it's good to get one's finances in order first, then take on the extra responsibility of a temp job second. I also learned that sometimes it helps to "shop around" for the best-paying temp agencies. Now that I'm done college and not in such a financial bind, I might try temping again(but with a different agency of course!). But as long as you don't have other obligations such as school, and you dance in moderation, I think you will do just fine.

    Good luck with it! And congratualations! Who knows, it might lead to a promotion or a permanent job!

    You guys know what's weird..I don't know if it's luck, better sales skills or what..but ever since I started working again, I've been making MORE money at the club. I guess since I'm spending time interacting with office people, then I'm applying the same principles when I go into the club..I dunno but I'm happy I got this job that's for sure!

    Yeah, I got better at dancing since I got my day job. I guess it's because you don't absolutely NEED the money, you know? But unfortunately now, I have been bumped up to supervisor, I have to work crazy hours, am exhausted, and I can't make it to my fav club to work anymore half the time, so it looks like my dancing days have damn near ended...

    Ah, well. Such is life.

    You're probably doign better cuz you're more balanced now. You're probably also happy as anything when you receive a $100 from a custy cuz you have to work all day to get it. Good luck and try to get on a decent sleeping schedule.

    I already have 1 fulltime day job, I coudn't work another one at the same time Basically I'm saying that since I started this dayjob, on top of dancing, my money is looking a whole lot better! It actually feels good to walk up to customers and sell them dances!

    good for you - having a life outside of dancing keeps you attached to the general public I have 3, well actually 4 jobs and they go progressively from real world to stripper world:

    1) multimedia design and photography (self employed).
    2) My dancer persona website and run by me).
    3) I bartend 4 nights a week in a strip club.
    4) I dance once or twice a week in the same strip club I bartend in.
