    Default Forcing myself to work

    I'm posting this to get a little kick in the ass. I've worked only twice in the past two weeks. I'm not in school right now and I quit my other job, so my days are spent lollygagging around Portland, smoking weed , cooking, shopping, being online, etc. I'm not even trying to get a new job or enrolling in classes or doing anything I really think about doing a lot like volunteering or just taking a simple knitting class. I need to stop being such a pothead and get my shit together. I am forcing myself to work tonight and as many other nights this week as I can. And today I am going to get money orders to pay my bills. Basically spending all my discretionary income to finally pay off my credit cards for good and stop using them. Please kick me in the ass.

    Get your act together!

    Just kidding. You are already on the right track if you realize what is wrong. I really think the best thing for you would be to quit smoking pot. That will make anyone lazy. That aside, at least you are spending your time doing productive activities (such as cooking.) Once you get in the habit of forcing yourself to work more, it will get easier, and you will have money saved up for when you start school again. No one can kick you in the ass; that's your job. There's nothing wrong with taking time to enjoy your life but working full time is something you need to do while you're young. Set goals for yourself for the summer and get to work on them!

    I have this problem a lot. I was a total slacker for months and it caught up to me. I did finally get myself back on track. Once you start going regularly again it does become habit. Getting started is the hard part.

    The only thing that worked for me was just getting up and going. Don't think about it, analyze it or try to justify staying home. Just put yourself on autopilot and get moving. Turn off your brain while you're getting ready and be a robot. Time to get ready = no arguments, no dragging your feet, just put your ass in the shower and scrub up.

    Boy I needed this thread. I loath doing anything other than sleep and interwebs.

    I'm forcing myself to go in on a day I'm not even scheduled , because my money is GONE.

    Here's to a self swift kick in the ass.

    Here! Here! I've been lazy as fuck, too, and haven't been going into work. My reasons come from being sick all the time with allergies, severe sinus pain, and ear infections...even had to go to the ER the other day the pain was so bad.

    Now that I'm on the healing process and starting to feel a little better...I just don't want to jump back into it full speed ahead. Prayfully, I'll feel better in a couple of days...and will be back into my routine. I keep asking myself, am I a slacker? Am I a slacker? No...I'm not...I'm just trying to get the fuck better! My body is exhausted right now.

    I feel you sunchild...we'll get back to our regular routines. And soon we won't even be thinking about it...we'll be doing it!!! Like the girls said, the hardest part is getting started.

    And quit smoking that shit!!! I agree that that's probably a good reason why you've been slacking. Who wants to go into work when they can sit at home and be a zombie? You know what you gotta do.

    I am right there with you! For the first time in 2 years all I am doing is dancing, no school, no extra job, and I'm working less than I used to! I do have a suggestion on the pot--if I smoke before I go to work, I get lazy and don't want to go anymore. So I've started to try and only let myself smoke after work, as a reward for going. I think about it during my shift if I start to get pissy, and it makes me smile, and puts me in a better mood. Good luck!

    If you worked an 8-5 office job would you only show up for work twice in 2 weeks? You would be fired ultra fast. If you owned a business where you had to open the doors every day, would you not do so?

    As dancers we are self employed and have to be money motivated enough to put in a full weeks work, save money, and pay our bills on time. If you want to go shopping and party, fine. Make a schedule of let's say 5 days a week, and pick the 2 nights you want to have off. Party and go shopping on those days/nights. You won't have any money for fun if you don't work, will you?

    Well today I spent 2500 on paying off a credit card (one more to go!) and paying part of a student loan, and that was basically all my non-savings discretionary income, so I HAVE to go in. I made a list of all other debts and expenses and made a savings goal. I'm going to try to work hard until I take care of all my debts. I overheard one girl at a club talking about how she worked 17 nights in a row one time.

    I feel guilty too. I made half my goal in 2 shifts, and I wasn't mentally in the mood to work today...so now I have to go to work Sunday, and I'm pretty sure, I won't make my goal now..I suck.

    You don't suck!!! I am heading into work right now. I just showered, shaved and blew out my hair with my new Bumble and Bumble Hair Tonic. (I'm going to make 1k tonight! I'm going to make 1k tonight!) And I'm going to go to work every night and rest and read during the days to relax.

    ^I don't know if it will suck...but I mean, a lot of the guys ARE fathers. They'll be spending time with their kiddos. I know I'll be spending my time with my dad all day.

    ^ i dunno. i'm pretty sure the strip clubs are still open after the kids' bedtimes. and i doubt the guys with grown up kids are gonna be hanging out with them that late either, especially since their kids have work tomorrow, and maybe some kids of their own.

    True, but most men (at least round here) are dead beats so they probably don't take care of their kids LOL j/k...but seriously most guys who migrate towards me are the sad old lonely guys who can't get a woman. So they probably dont have a woman.

    I went and made 300+ after tipping out extra and even giving my favorite bartender a 20. I'm going again tonight! Thanks for the encouragement!

    It's HARD to make yourself go when you don't have someone that you are relieving. There is no accountability.

    I asked some of my friends to call me and harass me into going in to work and so far that has been working well. They tell me that I have to go. HAHA. and if I don't they act all mad. =D

    I forced myself as well and walked with a grand after tip out..which totally sucks considering I tip out an over all 40 fucking percent!!!! damnit.

    But hey., the entire drive in and even while I was getting ready I was like..man I should just go home.. this is going to suck...look at all the girls here!

    Then it just happened.



    I'm scheduled today and do need to go but I'm seriously wondering if I should go in. Fathers day might be a bust considering that and also because well, it's fucking SUNDAY. Sundays are kinda busy but obviously a toss up and I have a TON of shit to do tomorrow, early early. I know going in today and working 8 to 4 I won't get up at 10 to do shit. Blechy

    I want to come work at your club!!! It was a struggle to make 300 dollars last night. I swear Saturday is the new Friday at this club. So many people just hanging out. If it wasn't for a 200 VIP I got at the very end I'd be a very pissed stripper. Maybe weekends at this club aren't good for me anymore.
