    Default Coming out of Haiatus

    After about 7-8 months of dancing, I just quit and didn't intend to go back. I kind of just got bored, or tired of being there, and I couldn't stand being there for 13 hours, so I left and lived the broke life again.

    Now there's a financial emergency and I need to help my fiance raise 1000 dollars quick.

    So I sucked it up and resolved to get back to work. I'm still sick of the place, so I went and set my sights on another club. I just went tonight to check the place out, brought an outfit just in case, and it's a good thing because before I knew it they were offering me a job before I'd even asked! They sent someone over to us who told us we were both "smoking hot" and offered us a job. I took them up on the offer and long story short I ended up auditioning right then and there.

    This was this past Thursday, so it was a slow night. However right after my audition me they scheduled me for Friday night, again without my even having to ask =) This is really good because I was worried starting from scratch in a new place would mean taking on the crap shifts for awhile, and I don't have time to work my way up.

    Anyhoo before I went in, I wrote this. I wonder if a lot of girls can relate to these feelings about 'coming out of 'retirement'?


    Another foray into that seedy underbelly....

    My first venture into that neon darkness was a whirlwind. By the time I got out, I felt, and still feel as though I've been tossed through the other side of a maelstrom. There, everything happens so fast, 13 hours can pass in a blink. Your head is spinning even more than your body. The smoke, the music, the people...everything is a glowing blur.

    So tumultuous was this encounter that even when I left I didn't know that I was leaving. I feel as though I had been seized, shaken, and released before I even really knew what was happening. I couldn't bring myself to document my experience during my time in this dark fantasy. It leaves you exhausted each night, so spent you don't even remember what to expect the next.

    My last night in this place was new years eve. I didn't know I was leaving until well after I didn't come back.

    How long was I there? A month? a year? It will ensure you leave with a dim and faded memory of its secrets.

    I have held out, gone without food before going back to that place. I don't even know why. I do not remember feeling unpleasant in the creatures arms...why do I fear returning to its carnal embrace? I suppose it is instinct...to fear that which we do not understand. To fear it all the more after having been up close and personal with the mystery for so long...and be no closer to understanding.

    Now, however, I feel it calling me. Offering me its security, the protection of me and my loved ones if only I take refuge in that windowless enterprise.

    I must return, to protect my loved one in a time of need. There is no one else to help us. I must engage the beast once more, engage in that delicate game of cat and mouse with corruption itself.


    Guess I've improved since I started...[/I]

    I only took a month and a half off & it still felt really weird to come back. When you come to work you are stepping in a whole other world. I know you will do just fine, just think about when you first started dancing how strange it felt? I know your probably mad because you said you wouldnt do it anymore, and you had to give in because of the money situation. But you are doing something good you are getting yourself out of a 1000 debt it would take months to get out of it in another business.

    Yeah..I'm in almost the same situation...I havent danced in a cpl months....but things are so slow right now that i feel I'll have to go back. I'm going to stop in my old club tonight and see if they'll let me go in tomorrow night. I really didnt want to go back to dancing...I had my time there and felt (and still feel) strongly that I was burnt out and it was time to move on. It feels like such a step backwards...like i am admitting defeat because I cant survive without it.
    But I dont want to dip into savings to pay bills....so I dont have much of a choice now.

    That's how I felt when I first started dancing at the local club I am going to re-start working within next week on Monday. I thought it was a step backwards as I had hoped I could make a go of working elsewhere in the country and never have to dance locally ever again.

    Unfortunately, besides death and taxes ... change is the only certainty in life and thus I had to change and take that step backwards as such. It wasn't so bad. Things had changed since I was last there... some things for the better (increased flexibility in the schedule.. yay!!! that's a big one for me) and some things not changing (working commission).. and some things for the worse...

    Wow, a 2 year break huh? I don't know if I'd even be capable of going back after that long. It's only been about 5 months and it still feels like a lifetime away.

    Yeah, I did kind of jump head first into the dancing business, it really was a wild (and exhausting) ride. But no, you're right, this new place already seems worlds better than my old place. Biggest difference is the customers. You could tell that they are a classier demographic than the ones at the ol' blue collar sports (ugh) bar/strip club.

    Yuck. Strip clubs should NEVER be mixed with sports. The men should be there to watch YOU dance! Not ignore you while you work your butt off on stage so that they can watch some guy fumble a touchdown instead..

    This new place has some high def tvs, but they dont play sports. The ones on the floor play music videos accompanying whatever song is playing, and the one in the CR is set to a pay-per-view "adult" channel
