Compassionate Leave

Posted by Diva on February 2nd, 2010 | No Comments »

Being a sex worker usually means you get the final say in when you work. Some escort agencies can be pushy about you coming in, but unless you take the piss by only waltzing in once a fortnight, you get to decide which days or nights suit you (if you want complete control then working independently is the best bet).

Although you can feel obliged to work if you’ve recently had time off, there’s no point if you’re in a bad frame of mind. Just like any other career, compassionate leave may be necessary if you receive some bad news or go through a traumatic experience. Even if you are physically well, you won’t be able to do your job properly if your mind is somewhere else and you’re feeling emotionally fragile.

I once tried to meet a client when I’d had some bad news; I thought I could put on a front and act my way through it, but I was too delicate and the appointment was a disaster. Clients hire escorts to make themselves feel good, so don’t go if you’re likely to make them feel bad!

If you are with a strict escort agency, they may not sound very sympathetic to you asking for ‘compassionate leave’. But stand your ground; working regardless could result on you losing a potentially regular client.

Give Yourself A Break

Posted by Diva on November 20th, 2009 | No Comments »

Just a quick word of advice today. However much you enjoy being a sex worker or however much you need the money, give yourself a break sometimes. Your body needs to rest, and will suffer physically and emotionally if you’re up all night every night. You need at least a day off to recuperate, catch up with your friends and do your chores.

Another problem is that you might grow to resent what you do if you’re pushing yourself to hard; don’t let any escort agency bully you into working every night, you’re entitled to your free time!

That’s all for now,
