    Default Private Party Burn-out?

    A burn-out is when you're so stressed you can't even make money... but I'm making TONS of a money because with all the work I've done, I've proven myself and she's given me shift after shift after shift. This week alone I'm booked-out.

    I'm so tired. I want a break. But the going's good, y'know? I've got a fat savings, bought myself some brand stuff, paid off my car.... of course, this means I can also AFFORD said vacation.

    Can you have burn out in the private industry? I mean, when I had burnout in clubs, I'd come home with $30, angry and crying. Now I come home with $1200.... angry and crying. I turn down high paying jobs just because I'm too tired or it's too late or they didn't book me sooner. Yadda yadda.

    I just wanna... cry. I wanna take a vacation. I wanna visit a hot spring and say FUCK OFF to the world.

    But if I go now, won't the agent see me as a slacker? Will I lose even more work than I intended?

    *spaz*

    I hate this. My entire career isn't based off what people think of me, it's based off what ONE PERSON thinks of me. *cries*

    You have burn out. Unless you want to get to the point where you're NOT making any money and the agent won't book you at all, take a vacation. You need and deserve it.

    You and alot of other people on SW at the time SAW me burn out (of course I deleted those posts awhile ago as what I posted was too personal to keep on a public board).

    I also burnt out at a time when I was very very busy.

    Money has nothing to do with it.

    TAKE SOME TIME OFF MORR!

    They MUST understand you do need to have time out and time off ?

    It has NOTHING to do with being slack and everything to do with KEEPING YOUR SANITY.

    Even if it is just a week... at home.. doing alot of nothing...

    I have to give three weeks notice to take a weekend off. I think I'll ask for one in June and save up tons of cash for that one weekend and blow it all on massages and chocolate covered men.

    I wasn't able to take a break from private party dancing for a long time, and ended up getting so burned out that I quit.

    Yea, it's better to take that break before you start throwing bottles at people who say something "wrong"! I'm doing mostly club work and the occasional party, either way I still make plenty at the club but an amount of money that would've made me bounce with happiness before just makes me go "blah." Just goes to show there's more to it than money in the end.

    You could put it like that to her... "I want to be here when you need me, and I also need to take some time off to maintain my cheerful party mood. When would it work best for me to have a few days off?" and she might let you go sooner.

    Ahhh would've been a great idea but my vacation is already booked.

    A 2 hour drive out of the city to a hot spring that's piped directly into your spa tub... 4 star restaurant in lobby.. and boy/girl massages... for the boy and I.

    Three weeks.

    Oh and $105 a night for the room. SWEET!

    Edit: Oh yeah, and it's in the middle of fucking nowhere.

    Edit2: Holy crap and there's a winery next door! For the win!

    Sometimes a vacation is necessary. The problem is, in this line of work the opportunity cost is so high! I'd love to jet out somewhere for a few weeks, but I always have to include the "cost" of what I would be missing out on in my trip cost, and usually it's much too high to even consider.

    Try making a list of your goals and what you want to accomplish in the future with the money you are making now. Revisit that list every day/once a week, and focus on how your hard work now will bring you so much fun and relaxation in the future.

    Hope that helps, a little. Do try and get a break, even for just a few days if you can manage it.
