    Default I just need to rant

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Exotic...z/message/1017

    The above link points to a blog kinda about how I quit a certain local club in March 2004. Yes, I quit on not so good terms at the time yet that was two years ago.

    Why am I posting about this? Well, recently, I was approached by one person who represents the club about possibly working there. I had been tossing up whether or not to go back for a loooooong time (since it is a two-way touching environment and I've been working in no touching sc environments for over a year now) ... and if I did go back which nights I would work.

    Last week I told the lady who approached me originally about working there that I wanted to work Tuesday (tonight) as well as Thursday this week. She told me to come in at 7.30pm on Tuesday.

    At 3.30pm I was told by this lady that for some reason I wasn't allowed back at the club and that the club would ring me... of course I took the initiative and rang them (as why would they ring me?) to find out the reason why I wasn't allowed to work.

    It seems that "it had been discussed" and because I didn't leave on good terms (OVER TWO YEARS AGO) I was regarded as trouble (as such) and thus not exactly welcomed back tho they would call me for the busier events such as Indy.

    I can understand saying this to me 6 months to a year later however two years later?! What the fuck?!

    I just feel angry that I wasn't informed earlier. I told them last week I wanted to work this week. The problems I had with the club which lead to the not so nice way of me leaving was due to the fact that I was over-worked at the club as well as the strictness of it (esp. in re: being able to take time off).

    I was also (I distinctly remember) starting to become antsy ... I wanted to travel and start to experience what it would be like working at various clubs across Australia for over a month before I quit...

    Anyway.. I just wanted to get his off my chest. I'm a bit sad as it means that the top two clubs on the Gold Coast aren't open to me. The only one left, whilst it has money making potential, is a dive. I don't want to go back to working in a dive plus it has a reputation (well deserved) for being a rough club (the girls are catty, territorial, clique-y ... basically watch your stuff and your back!). Other than that.. the only other club which isn't so much a dive has hardly any money making potential.

    I was looking forward to it for the pure fact that I actually havn't been within a strip club for waaaay over a month now.. nearly two months.. and I really want to go back to working in one.. just not a dive. It's hard enough to deal with two-way touching... to deal with the fact that I have to work in a dive as well too boot is just too psychologically damaging to me (I wouldn't enjoy work).

    Yes I could go to Brisbane to work yet that is an hour and half drive (one way) I'm not willing to do as I would be the driver not someone else. I would be risking my own life driving back an hour and half in the early hours of the morning with sore feet and being a little tired. It isn't an exciting drive and I only have the radio to keep me awake (no cd/cassette player).

    wow, thats pretty bad. i left on medium terms with my last club and last week i tried to go as a customer (i like the club and i have many friends that still work there) and the owner kicked me out. i've been banned from going there as long as she can remember who i am. i still don't know why i can't even go as a customer. i don't even want my job back, i just want to spend my money (which the club needs and she still won't let me in!!)

    maybe you don't need them. this could be a sign for something better yet to come. i'm currently driving two hours to my club for the weekends and making great money. i stay in hotels while i work my schedule so i don't wear myself down doing it every night. i really hope things get better for you.

    theeeeee sun will come up tomorrow...

    I couldn't view the link. Don't belong to the group. You'd think the club would let you come back after almost 2 yrs! Have you tried to talk to mang. in person? I couldn't work at a certain club for awhile. I'd call to see when I'd be able to come back. They would always tell me they didn't need me. So, one day I just went in the club. Talked to mang. in person. And, I got my job back on the spot.
    Could it be possible for u to stay in Brisbane for a couple of days? You could work Wed. through Sat. Or whatever days you prefer. Then go back home. A lot of girls from out of state drive here and stay for a few days in a hotel or at another dancer's house. Then they go home for the rest of the week. Just an idea.

    I've calmed down since my original post. I don't think going in and talking with management in person will do anything as I'm thinking the owners are the people who "discussed it". It's the same owners as when I used to work there and the manager who used to work there when I used to work there is long gone now (he sold his share of the business to his g/f or whatever she was who never really liked me even tho' I never spoke to her).

    Anyway, it is just a shame that I now have to have wear n tear on my car driving to/from work in Brisbane as I will only be able to do two nights a week and would prefer Tuesday and Thursday nights at present (as I still want to be available Fri/Sat nights for private party work as I want to build myself up with the agencies instead of being constantly unavailable etc).

    As for staying in accom. for the night (or morning as I would check in only to check out a couple of hours later).... this is the main reason why I'm a little disappointed with the whole situation... I was hoping to go back to working locally so I could save money... spending money on accommodation and fuel (not to mention wear n tear on the car itself) is not my idea of saving money.... however... I do realise that these costs will be tax deductible... yet still... I don't want to earn $300 one night to have $20 deducted for fuel and whatever else deducted for whatever other expenses.. and thus end up going home really with $200 or less...

    I dunno. I just wish it worked out so I wouldn't have to even consider dancing in Brisbane.

    Well, another option you might have is to try one of the car services. I would google "executive car service in brisbane" or something like that. Most escort companies, also use this type of thing, for the safety and privacy of their girls. Maybe you could get in touch with them. I used a car service for about three months, commuting to OKC (a 2 hour drive) and it cost WAY less than a taxi would have, not to mention that they used either big, roomy sedans or SUV's, so I had room to stretch out and relax, or play on the laptop.

    I can sympathize, I'm working in a rough dive right now, and having trouble with the manager--it's rapidly reaching the point of being intolerable. There are other clubs in town, but either they are worse as far as money per shift, or I've already worked there and had trouble with certain people, or in the case of one club, it's a total factory, and not my style at all. Limited choices suck.

    So I'm getting my van fixed up and road-ready, lol...

    Actually, I never really thought of that idea in re- executive car service (I definately don't have any friends who can be available at the times I would need them to be available to drive me to/from the club to/from home for those two nights) as it would allow me to have a nap for that hour and half ....plus the cost of the trip is deductible.. less wear n tear on my car.. hmm... definately a thought.

    Thanks for the suggestion it would be saving me money in the end due to the fact that I wouldn't have to fork out for accommodation etc just the return trip from my home (to/from the club).....

    Limited choices do suck however I have to be thankful that at least I'm not in a place like Cairns or Townsville where there is only ONE strip club and thus if you burn your bridge with that club...

    Glad to help. Anything that saves some stress and is write-off-able (is that a word?) is worth passing on.

    Hey babe, sent you an email but not sure you got it. Sorry my inbox was full.

    You have my cell? Michael has it. Tell him you're coming up and he'll let you use the futon. He's been sleeping at his parents anyway - so you'd pretty much get the place to yourself if you just feed the cats.

    If you left on bad terms you shouldn't go back anyway. You didn't like the scheduling policies or the contact there, so why even consider it? I think you should probably take this is a blessing in disguise - you would most likely regret going back there.

    Always move forward - never look back!

    You see that's the thing.. one of the reasons I quit the club originally and was fed up about it those many years ago was the strictness of the scheduling (lack of being able to take time off) due to wanting to travel around Australia (as I hadn't ventured outside the Gold Coast for work at that point too much)... that had changed! I was under the impression that they would allow me to work two nights a week whenever I could ... so I could still travel around Australia, still do the private party thing on fri/sat nights ... and be able to work locally...


    Just that there is only one other club left now which is a dive (I would feel like I'm moving backwards if I worked there) that has money within it ... just that I'm not prepared to work there.



    LilithMorrigan - I responded to the email today/this morning. I'd love to feed the cats in the morning as that is what I pretty much do in the mornings for my two anyway I'm well trained by my two lol! Thank you soooo much for the offer of a place to sleep for a couple of hours before heading back home.

    man that sucks about payers. i cant belive they are still making a deal about it- theres only a few staff there that were around when you left before.surely they dont have that good a memory!? its weird.

    they make you pay $50 for some induction course anyways.apparently if the cops come in and catch another dancer say fingering herself, any dancers working there without having done the induction thing will also get charged as if they had been fingering themselves too. bs. maybe its all over se qld now? stupid law tho.

    Wow interesting law and do they really need to charge to do the induction course... if they charge for the course and it's supposed to protect you or something... do you receive a certificate or some sort of written evidence that you have done the course and therefore can't be charged ?? Anyway, I am a bit surprised that they will hold it against me and I didn't really leave on THAT bad of terms... all that happened was the for the last month or so prior to me quitting I wasn't the best of workers there because I was antsy since I wanted to travel around Australia to experience dancing in other cities/locations... and at the time back then they were really strict about taking time off.. and it was getting to me the lack of time off along with the strictness of being able to take time off as well as having to work open til close four nights a week... and so it all got to me.. I had a slight fight with Bec (a hostess at the time) and ..well.. I quit.

    Is Bec still there? She is literally the only hostess who I had that major falling out with that one time waaaay back when I was working there. Amy has been long gone (another hostess)... and they were the only two I had problems with, as such.

    None-the-less, I'm going to Brisbane to work now... I didn't want to however since Players is being unfair.. I will... I'll probably be better off in the end?? I dunno. We'll just have to see.

    Just bummed as I was hoping to earn something working last night so that I could possibly get my hair styled prior to the National Final.
