Just One Of Those Days

Today was the day from hell. The closer we get to Christmas, the uglier the behavior, in some people. Today was "just one of those days".

I had to fire a stripper as soon as she walked in the door, because apparently she got wasted while working yesterday and left with two customers. Getting wasted with the owner in the building is already a bad idea, but to leave with customers is even worse. Our owner left me a note to tell her not to even enter the building for at least 90 days. I happened to be stocking our merchandise display by the front door when she walked in at 1:00 pm. She was not happy to hear what I had to say, especially considering we had just allowed her to come back to work there again after I fired her the first time over a year ago. It happens a lot. Some of these girls make the same really bad decisions over and over again and cannot understand that the outcome will always be the same. Working in our club is a privilege and we have a "Zero Tolerance" policy for drugs, drinking while working, sexual activity in the club and especially leaving with customers.

The Government and the Right Wing Fanatics would like nothing more than to put clubs like ours out of business. The best way to shut a club down is to have evidence of prostitution, so we don't take any chances if we think one of our girls is engaging in extra-curricular activities with customers. I never feel bad when I have to fire a girl who has crossed the line with a customer. When they do that, they put my job and the jobs of everyone there in jeopardy, not to mention our Liquor License. If a girl is caught by Undercover Vice for soliciting prostitution, not only will she go to jail, so will the Manager On Duty. We're not having any part of that.

That was how my day started and it went downhill from there. One girl after another came to me with their various complaints, whining and bullshit. One had the audacity to tell me I needed to fire the DJ for playing her the wrong songs for her Stage Set. She whined that because he played the wrong songs, it ruined her day and she wasn't going to make any money. After listening to her go on and on about his "incompetence" for 10 minutes, I finally told her she had a shitty attitude and if 2 songs were going to ruin her day, she had much greater issues that she should seek help for. She stalked out of my office and I didn't hear another peep out of her for the rest of the day. She should consider herself lucky for not peeping, as I would have fired her in a heartbeat if she had. Girls like her are a "cancer' and it's contagious as a motherfucker. It can spread like wildfire to all the girls there and before you know it, there's a brawl in the dressing room.

To add to my already horrible day, my back is a screaming mess. My pain meds were doing absolutely nothing for me and I was miserable. Ha. Look at me now, I sound like a sniveling stripper!

Well, tomorrow is another day, a 16 hour workday, at that. The day before Christmas Eve is a notoriously busy day, so the time will fly by. Thankfully we are closed Monday and Tuesday, so I can escape the Vampires for a little while.

Can it please be January now? K, thanks.
