    Exclamation Ok, I Guess I'm FINALLY Going to Start Dancing!

    After being treated like total crap at my job all this week (changed locations and stuff), I told my bosses that I'd work until the end of next week and then I was done. Anyone that knows me will know that I've been seriously considering dancing for a while, and I think I'm finally ready to give it a shot.

    I just can't believe I'm actually going to do it! It's been a real blur since we decided we were going to move, and this is the last step (getting a new job, that is) that I needed to take care of before we could go ahead and find a new place to live and such.

    I have a sick feeling in my stomach because I know I won't have a job after next week if I happen to change my mind, but I also keep telling myself that what I'm doing is a GOOD thing and that I'll be much happier after I start dancing anyway.

    Ok...reassurance? I'm just having a mini freak out moment for giving notice on my job.

    Yay Deni!! We're in the same boat. I swear even though I'm coming out of retirement, I feel like a total newbie all over again. I remember before I quit dancing I was making $100 and thought that was good....in reality I was just lazy.

    My stomach is in knots just thinking about it; last November I tried to go back. I got all shaved and dressed and was ready to go out the door and I just chickened out and didn't go.

    I'm really nervous too, we can be each other's support system!

    Yeeeeeeeeeeees! This is seriously one of the most impulsive things I've ever done...EVER! I'm normally one of those people that has to have everything in line and in place, and before I would never leave a job without having another to take its place.

    I'll be fine, but I'm just freaked out at what I did today. Maybe I'm finally gaining confidence in standing up for myself. It's just...weird...that's all.

    What was stopping you from trying it out for the past two years? You're a couple of hours at the very most from plenty of clubs that will just let you walk in and start.

    Just get your butt out there and do it Deni. No excuses.

    It was just a combination of things, Susan.

    Honestly...when I first came here I felt like I could do it. Mox wasn't for it at all, but I checked around and thought about it anyway. Then I got the job I have now (a year and a half ago...well, about the time I came here), and I have loved it up until last week. They closed the place I was working at and shipped me up to the main location, and the other ladies treat me like I'm their bitch or something. It sucks.

    Anyway, Mox got his promotion and stuff...he's already working in Austin. I knew I was about to be without a job since we had to move anyway, so I figured the move would provide me a good opportunity to try it out. I talked it out with Mox on more than one occasion, and his view on strippers/strip clubs has really changed over the time that I've been on this site. In fact, he's changed quite a bit over the past couple of years (and I have, too).

    Looking back at myself when I joined vs. now, though, I don't think I was ready/mature enough/exposed to the world enough...or whatever you'd want to call it. I was naive, I guess. I just feel like I'll be able to handle it, and the timing feels right.

    Hopefully that all made sense.

    It makes sense to hesitate/have your partner hesitate. I apologize for this but I naturally bristle when people are here for *years* before stepping into the industry as 1) after a few months I expect curious parties to put up or shut up and 2) it doesn't bode well for most who think about it forever and a day as they usually turn out to be unsuited for the work (hello Topaz, V of Willendorf). I sincerely hope you are the exception and that it turns out well for you.

    Yeah, I know I would have done it if the job I'm at hadn't come about. It pretty much just fell in my lap, and it was such a perfect job that I couldn't say no. Good hours, decent pay, working with one other person (who is a sweet older lady), less than 5 miles from my house, easy work...I could honestly go on and on about why it was a great job.

    Oh...just for the record...when I say that I've been thinking about it for "a while," it's only been since I knew I would they were closing the place I work at (a month, maybe). I hope that didn't seem horribly exaggerated (like months) or something.

    I know how you are when it comes to newbies, though, and I really thank you for the well wishes and all. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes when the time comes.

    A month? Girl, you've been on this board for almost two years.

    Make a plan. Order your clubs in order of choice from first to last. Call for audition/hiring times. Get the gear. The time is now! Validate those two thousand posts!!! I am giving you three weeks and if you haven't been hired somewhere by then, I will take drastic measures.

    Hey...by a month I mean SERIOUSLY considering it rather than just saying, "Oh, I'll probably do it one day!"

    I better do something, though! I am leaving my job next Friday (as in Friday the 13th...ack!...not tomorrow). Now I've got to figure out where the heck I'm going to go.

    It's funny, though. I've been here so long and seen so many people ask questions about clubs and all kinds of stuff. Now I have to pick one and I feel totally lost. I suppose we'll have to brand me as a NEWB.

    For a year and a half, you had a job you never intended of leaving and still posted over 2,600 times on SW. That's just weird.

    If you want to strip, just do it. Jump in the water.

    Oh, I planned on leaving it. It wasn't a permanent type of job...just too good to not have while it was there.

    I got to know everyone when I first thought of dancing, and I had made friends and just never left. That's why I'm still here.

    I was waiting for it, but I also still have one more week at my "regular" job before I can really do anything (because of the hours I work). I think I might take a week to do some things I've been meaning to do...catch up on school work, start packing for the move, clean out my uber scary overflowing closet, and that kind of stuff...and then I'll go and get started.

    I seriously felt like I haven't had any "me" time in...like...forever! Today was my first Saturday off in a looooooooooong time.

    Add the snow and it's been one wild and crazy day!
