The Game Begins

I'd borrowed my roomate's car for my first night of work because, I noticed when I had taken my cab over there, that Push was only a hop skip and a jump from where we lived. But as usual, I misjudged and soon discovered that a hop, skip, and a jump for a cabbie was more like a 2 hour journey of twists and turns to me. So I was late, on my first day (needless to say I discovered on the ride home that I lived on a straight road 5 minutes away, no turns necessary). The look I recieved from the manager was definitely not one of pleasure. But he proceeded to tell me to change my clothes anyway.

I'd changed into my underthings and looked around at the women beside me. Much of the same as my last time changing except the Similac Twins were nowhere in sight. How many girls do they have working here, I wonder (on a rotating basis that is). I noticed that while my underparts were still nice and sleek I wasn't wearing nearly as much makeup and no hairspray at all. Fake eyelashes scare me and remind me of spider legs so those weren't going on my face anytime soon and my overall look could only be described as "green". I was so F.O.B (fresh off the boat. This was gonna be a doozy.

I went upstairs only to find that I would be going on stage in only a few minutes so I took the time to have a shot and prepare for the worst. Stage times were done in 10-15 minute increments, depending on how many girls were working that night. Tonight there were enough for 15 minute sets. My first time up felt like the longest fifteen minutes of my life. The first five minutes I almost had a heart attack. The second five minutes I was able to feel my heart in my throat, it was beating so fast. But the last five went by like cake. When you get off the stage you are supposed to walk around the inside of the bar and ask the customers for tips by way of dancing in front of them and shaking your jiggly bits. This was the easy part. I loved shaking my jugs all the time, and that but jiggling thing (almost a clap but not because I barely have that much rear end) I've been doing for ages (why I don't know). I went around twice and made $12. Easiest $12 of my life. Some people make $12 and here I'd just made it in twenty minutes. Go figure. A girl can get used to this.
