AAAAAACCCCKKK The good ole' brass pole (not attached to ceiling- I'm gonna say it's 7" tall?) at my club is falling down... It is seriously the Leaning Pole of Persia.![]()
Which especially sucks because I do a lot of pole tricks, and I am not amazing when it comes to floor work. I'm super-flexible, very strong, but not that graceful. So pole-tricks are great for me to impress people (and myself) and hide the fact that I can't move my butt and legs around like a cat in heat.![]()
The pole has always had about an inch give side-to-side, but starting Thursday night (today is Sunday) it got reallyy bad- I dunno what happened, but when I came to work Friday (I work Fri, Sat, Sun and walk in some days during the week) it was super-rickety and has gotten progressively worse with each day... now one can move it in its' base in a 4-inch circumference. blahhh.... I am seriously afraid that it is going to fall. If they do not repair it this week I am coming to work super-early Friday and working on floor-moves because I am NOT cracking my skull open on that thing... If I get injured it's going to be on my motorcycle, not on a damn strippers' pole.... and it's not like we get workers' comp, either!!!!! I went to a nearby Hustler last night with a bunch of friends, and watched those ultra-tall aluminum spinning poles (well-bolted down, very safe, and clean-looking!!!!) and was SOOOOOOOO supremely envious!!!) My club has so much money flowing through it it's ridiculous... you'd think they could spend just a WEE bit on re-bolting the pole and repairing the wood on the small stage (which is also beginning to tear).
Oy ga-fucking-vult.

No disability because a.) we're independent contractors and we sign waivers when we start working, and b) we work way less than 40 hrs a week. My club is smart. They'll take care of it... eventually... but you're right about they customer angle... there are a lot of terrific regulars that carry a lot of pull with management, perhaps getting one of them to talk about it may help. Good idea, thank you Chrissy!!!!
