    Default I don't want to be too happy when I start work.......

    .....anymore. Yeah, this is a rant. It seems like the last two Fri. nights I have worked, I have been in such a great mood when I start work, things go horribly wrong

    (I have just been promoted in my other job, so I have cut my shifts down to Fri. nites, Sun. late aft.)

    Also, I have had a good couple of months dancing. There is even a dancer that jokes, "When Korri hits the stage, the custies run for the ATM". So things have been nice. But.....

    Two Fridays ago: There was a big fight btw. custies, the DJ booth short circuited before my second stage set of the evening, my biggest regular politely left without buying dances and a new, stupid, drunk-bitch dancer stepped out in back of my car as I was backing out!! ( I should have hit her. She was too drunk to get my plate and doesn't know my real name

    Lat Fri.: I had just got my promotion the day before, I was really, really happy So.....the DJ booth had not been fixed (had to use stupid jukebox), my biggest regular left AGAIN!! This time not only without buying dances, but without saying "good-bye" because I was talking to a guy in a WHEELCHAIR!!! HOW DOES A MAN THAT CAN WALK GET JEALOUS OF A MAN THAT CAN'T??? AND...he knew I just got that promotion, he should have been happy for me and bought more dances To top that off, it was not a "skinny girl night". I felt like every time I got on stage, some guys would get up and leave (almost run) away from the stage Damn! I had just got a mani-pedi, was completely exfolilated and my hair looked fabulous!! Plus, some of the girls were doubling up w/ the bartenders and splitting the money. I should have grabbled one of them.

    I ended up making better $$$ than I thought. But I was so happy because of the week I had and then 1 shift just brought me down. I was in the biggest depression yesterday.

    I guess I will just be neutral emotionally when I go to work and just deal with things as they are thrown at me. Sorry this was so long.

    first off, if your biggest regular was there girl WHY werent you with him?? that seems like a no brainer. or at least excuse yourself to go over to him and say can you wait a few moments this guy in a wheelchair wants a dance?

    but i feel you, sometimes the great mood can be crushed, maybe because your great mood wasnt a stripper great mood. there is being "in character" and in a good mood or being you-outside-of-work in a great mood. the latter will kill your money. the former is what you shoudl aim for.

    and i also ask about drinking. if you are drinking in yoru shift than you might have brought yourself down as drinking is a depressant.

    but if you are in a good mood stripperly, you haev to remind yourself not to let ANYTHING get to you. not even if someone tells you not in a million years would they get a dance with you find the humor in the situation.

    Love it!

    I get you and I totally know better. About the drinking, no, I'm not a big drinker.

    I see your point that I should have been with him, but he goes off to tip other girls on stage, I don't want to keep him from that.

    Perhaps that was a bad move on my part, not to hang with him.

    Oh well. I totally made up for it today

    I am so aware of "the stripper mode" and "regular mode". Our club has sort of a "down home" vibe to it. A lot of the dancers there sociaize with the regs on a "buddy" sort of level. We have some regs that are in the same industry as my regular job, so I tend to talk about it a lot.

    Sometimes I don't make to the point to really change my personality for the club. I usually don't let things get to me, but for some reason, Friday, it did.

    I'm going to work on separating my two personas.
