    Default So Anyway....I am finally done.....

    Yep.... hung up the g-string and heels and got me a "real" "grown -up" job. Yeah about 2 months ago I decided the clubs were really wearing me out and well the money just wasn't coming in and wasn't worth the stress anymore and got me a job in the mortgage dept of a bank. From stripper to banker hahahhaha... there must be a movie in there somewhere.. So anywho ...Yep I am lot happier now aside from the getting used to a paycheck every 2 weeks instead of cash in hand everyday, but atleast I can budget better now.

    I went to work about 2 weeks ago when we fell short of funds while trying to get used to the paycheck thing again and I was miserable!!! Hated every min of being there...I was there for about 4 hours and made about 180.00 but it still just wasn't in me and i couldn't wait to get home!! Now I am facing a possible return tomorrow (out of necessity again) they messed up on my paycheck and shorted me 8 hours of overtime so my budget I set up for these last 2 weeks came up short... I am sitting here trying to figure out if 9 dollars can last us until wednesday or do i really need to suck it up and go in tomorrow afternoon....grrrrrr...


    I can't wait 4 more weeks and I have everything caught up and will have extra cash that we budgeted for yippieeeee!!!!!! Just thought I would share catch you all up on my ongoings since I haven't posted here in forever.

    Her sex drive went up too! We're both a shitload happier now.
    I can say that I have a hot wife who works at the bank as opposed to a hot stripper wife now.

    ^^ as long as the word 'hot' is still in the job title, it's win/win.

    Damn....now you've reminded me....I retire from teaching in May and have to go find a real job. Perhaps someone out there will adopt me and I won't have to worry about it.

    Congrats hun....I hope you are happy there. It sounds better than the corrections officer thing, but you'd rock at both. Many many congrats

    Last year I quit dancing for about 8 months to....tah dah...work for a mtg company!! I hated it...made crap for money and came back.


    Good luck to you...hope your experience is better than mine!!

    Wow don't we live parallel lives!! Your whole story sounds very similar to what happened to me! About two months ago on the dot, I got fed up with dancing so I stopped for a while. Like you said, the money just wasn't there and it didn't seem to be worth the stress/aggravation/breach of privacy for the money I was stuck making. That, and ever since I obtained my college degree, I'd always been wishing that I could work a "grown-up" job. At the time I was working part-time for a business, but decided to change jobs to something full-time with more benefits.

    Just like you, I half-ass attempted dancing again a few weeks ago...only instead of making $180, I made literally like 1/3 of that. I was miserable the whole time I was there, but forced myself to stick it through the full 7hrs. But it was really dead, and the few guys there would turn their nose in the air and face the TV(football was on) when I came around for a fuckin dollar. I spent most of my time text messaging my friends saying "I can't stand it here!!!!", in a mode similar to that of when children nag their parents "are we there yet??" I woulda made more money working 10hrs at min wage at the McDonalds down the sidewalk from me, than I did by driving a 3hr round-trip to this bar, spending $20 on gas/tolls, and making what I made. Maybe it was the crappy dead shift, maybe it was me, but either way...I realized that I was done with dancing!

    If you are really serious about not dancing, then going back to it (just one last time) wouldn't be the answer. It'll put you in the mindset that every time an extra expense comes up, that you can go back and dance for it. Not that there's anything wrong with dancing on the side of a regular job(it's actually a smart idea), but you seemed serious about retiring from stripping and going back does not demonstrate seriousness about it. Also, you said that you absolutely dreaded it the last time you danced 2 weeks ago. What if dancing on the side occasionally causes you more stress than the money is worth?(since you said that you didn't make much last time you were there) Whether or not you go back, is a decision that you'd have to make on your own though.

    ^^^ yes, I have also found that having to drag out the 'psychological armor' in order to return to dancing after having been away from it for a while is more disruptive and taxing than the extra earnings are worth.

    Hey neighbors!!! I'm glad to hear life is good after stripping....I toss the idea around now and then, but I don't know if I am ready to give up my freedom and sparkly lip gloss quite yet.

    That and the idea of a pay check every two weeks really does spook me a bit.....

    So I'll be watching you....

    Congrats of getting away from the darkside Dea...hahaha, j/k!

    The budgeting thing will work, it takes some time. I got myself in a pickle last year too because I was blowing through all of my fat paychecks and started getting smaller ones.

    Good luck!

    Philly and Mel... you are both right, going back and having to put on my amour to get through a shift would not be benifical to me no matter how much I made. I decided not to go in today and just make the 9.00 dollars we have left stretch until Blade gets his check tuesday and I get my next check on Weds...( guess we are quiting smoking tomorrow lol)....That last shift I worked really was bad between the guys and the owner pissing me off by taking me off the stage rotation ( guess it was his way of "punishing" me) I just had it.


    I figure it will take about a month more or so and I can go in and actually enjoy myself as a custy hehehehe.
