    Default Me no wanna workie! (blarglesnarf)

    I should be leaving for work in fifteen minutes.
    Instead, I am here. Still wet from my shower. Still naked. No longer hot due to my beautiful fan (yay fan!). Absolutely no makeup, no deoderant, no lotion, nothing.

    (Energy. . . fading. . . will to look pretty. . . almost gone. . .)

    It's not even that I don't need the money (I do) or I don't think work will be worth it (it will) or that there's any drama at work (there isn't), I'm just not in the mood to deal with people. Besides, I'm having one of my dreaded "fat days" and while I just redyed my hair, I realized I'm out of the bleach I usually use to lighten my eyebrows so I don't have bright-orange-henna-red-omg-Irish hair and dark brown eyebrows.
    Also, I'm sitting still and sweating. You'd think that would encourage me to go into work where there's air conditioning, but it really doesn't work.

    How does everybody else work through this?

    Rocky IV theme music?
    Looking at your last credit card statement?
    Reminding yourself how little you want to do dishes right now?

    [yes, I could do a search, but what I really want here is commiseration.]

    And here's to Fall and the Vegas Convention Season arriving soon!

    My trick is to consider it a night at a club. I think, wow, I wonder what the guys are up to , who's gonna say or do soething funny or outrageous. If I think of it as work I'll stall but if I think of it as a party I get too curious to stay home.

    Sometimes I think about what bills I have coming up and how I would apply the money I make tonight toward those bills. I also love espresso and I have a triple shot w/ creamer on my way into work...if I don't go to work, I don't get my delicious coffee drink. It's a silly game I play w/ myself but it works for me.

    Ooo, I used to do the coffee thing and wound up addicted to the caffeine. Sneaky little habit.

    Im having a flashback from last year there were some threads on this around this time on SW. ~~~~wavy flashback lines~~~~
    August is sucky and hard. I advise anyone who doesnt want to work many days during such a tough month to save up for next year and take some time off about now.

    I just tell myself that it is a job and no other job would let me stay at home and do nothing without an excuse just cause I don't feel like going. I don't know, works for me.

    Ugh, that happens to me like half the time I need to get ready to go to work. I wake up and look longingly at my bed. Then I look longingly at my sofa. Then I shower and sit on stripper web for at least thirty minutes...

    Sometimes I just get ready and go without letting my mind dwell on it... Sometimes I take a shot and drink espresso and play loud music I like to dance to... Sometimes I think of bills... Sometimes I picture myself making all kinds of money and remembering the regulars who will be expecting me to be there.

    Good point!
    I've really gotten a little too into the mindset that I don't have to adhere to my schedule because the managers don't seem to care too much. In reality, they notice and even if they don't fire girls because of it, they'll cut you less slack. Also, the girls that super-bank tend to be the ones that show up the same days and a little early week after week after week.

    I've been feeling that way, too...totally burned out and not wanting to go to work! Earlier this week, I got to work late(there's no late fees at my club, and I don't have a schedule, I just show up whenever) because I was on Stripperweb and overall just feeling unmotivated and blah. The two days after that, I was feeling overly fatigued so I took those days off. I've found that when I go to work when I don't feel it or feel sick, that I don't really make much money. Then again, admittedly there's been a few times that I forced myself to go into work and it was worth it. It's really a toss-up. But I feel you.

    Yeah.. think we all get this from time to time.. I usually just make sure my bags and everything are well prepared and packed up in advance of going. Leave only easy things to the last minute ie. shower, basic make up..

    Lots of loud music, lucozade/sugar free redbull and off I go!!

    I work Sunday Monday Tuesday and one weekend. It's just my job. I wouldn't cut out of an offce job on a Wednesday just because I could. Wed and Thur, sometimes I'll go in if the spirit strikes me. But on Sunday Monday Tuesday there's just no question, I'm going in to work...

    I like to tell myself that I am going to look extra extra good that night, so I have fun playing with my makeup in different ways or putting on fake eyelashes which I don't usually wear, and then I feel a little more flirty and the thought of going to work doesn't disgust me as much. I also turn on the radio instead of the tv because I won't want to stop watching whatever I find and I promise myelf I can get on SW when I come home.

    I think of the money I'll be missing out on (HATE that) and that usually helps. If THAT doesn't help, I just forget it cuz in that case I'm worthless. We have those days. Not much you can do about it I reckon.

    I've been having those days recently. I never feel like going in to work, and like you I always need the money. I am only scheduled 2 days a week, but I usually work more than that. I just really don't feel like dealing with the custys. I find that a new outfit helps a lot, trying different make up, imagining making lots of money and having fun, and telling yourself that once you get there you will find your "stripper spirit"

    I know it can be tough sometimes to get the mojo to get to work, but it is work, and our job is to entertain. I have two kids so I could always use extra money, so that motivates me. If all else fails, think of the bills you've got pay, or money you still need to save. Good luck!!

    You have to look at dancing JUST LIKE an office job where you work 8-5 M-F. That is why so many dancers have no money to show for dancing. Since many clubs have flexible hours, and stripping is mostly a cold selling business, girls don't feel obligated or motivated to work.

    Chloe, sometimes we can't have every hair perfect. We just have to shower, shave, style our hair as best we can, do our makeup, put on some nice clothes, and get our butts to work.

    Money makes the world go round and as dancers we need to make maximum dollars EVERY DAY, just like most of our well heeled customers do.

    As the saying goes, "It's not what you do but how you do it."

    I am booked to work 6 day weeks from now until the end of Sept when I have a 2 week vacation. That is when I will play. it takes discipline and a drive to ACCUMULATE money, not just work when we need money.

    I feel like this about half the time, I swear. I find that leaving the house is the hardest part. Sometimes I'll leave an errand for myself to do right before I go to work, then once I'm out of the house, it's easy to get on the highway and go to the club. Once I'm there, the spirit usually kicks in.
