Is this a real job?

Recommended Posts

I agree. This is a real job. Everybody else who wants to mock or not believe that we actually work and do well at this have no right to say otherwise. Just ignore those negative comments.

We do what we do and do it well.

 

Well the whole point of the thread was questioning whether or not it is a real job.

Not only is this a real job, but its the best jobI've ever had. And i pay taxes, just like any other job.

 

WOOT! That is all! FUCK "REAL" JOBS! I've been told writing isn't a "real" job... I work harder at writing than anything. (Suckyfucky is easy for me... Not really working to me, but still pays.)

If you make money to support yourself, it's a job. :D

I left the government to do what I do know. When I did, so many people were shocked, saying 'you left the government?! But the pension!' These same people just loved tright through me when i said that for me, pension meant nothing when every day I hated my job in the mean time.

 

I hated it so much that i stopped caring. I would go in late, or not at all.

 

I don't do that with my current job. Because I LOVE it. Not only does my current job give me the ability and freedom to run things for myself, but it draws on the management and marketing skills I've acquired over the years. And i get to play with cock all the time!

 

To anyone trying to tell me my job isn't a real job, i just laugh. Its real. And not only is it the best job I've ever had, but since deciding to go this route, I've never in my life been happier, and my life has never been as stress-free. Doing this was the best decision I've ever made.

 

 

I envy you ladies sometimes. I absolutely hate my government job (and yes, contrary to stereotype, I do earn my pay). Twenty eight years in a government department in which I deal with, using a politically correct term LOL (if you knew who they are you'd laugh at my choice of term too) clients...very anti social clients. And my employer facilitates a negative work environment. Let's not forget my union, I've lost count of the stab wounds in my back received from my union...hell I trust management more than them. I would love to have some other job

but it's kinda too late and too close to retirement now

But my real point in this post isn't to cry over my job situation, no. Ladies, all of you, I appreciate the profession you are in and the work you do. You don't make encounters seem like work, you make them seem like a date, social time, pleasure, fun, and an escape for both you and me. It's that encounter you provide that helps makes my life good. And for all you do, don't ever think it goes unappreciated...it is appreciated more than you know, and has a value beyond the cost of the donation.

So a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the professional companions out there

Precisely!

 

And now we have one less point of view on that topic.

The H word is not allowed on this board.. which is why you keep seeing it either ------ or h----ker etc... it doesn't personally offend me in the slightest.. Like some other ladies well pointed out.. reframe it.. and reclaim it.

 

BUT the intention was the same.. she could have easily said. I'm not looking for respect on an escort board.. and in my opinion almost got the same point across simply because using the H word showed her intent. Same as the example I gave.. you could insert from a 'fellow tim hortons employee' while looking down your nose at your 'fellow employee'. I thought she did a great job of making sure her intent was known.

I can relate as I did what few public servants would ever do, I Q-U-I-T. Even this was difficult and met with disbelief (my boss called me the next day to ask why I wasn't at work) -- like are you for real? I know I quit yesterday and then the oh my gosh what about your pension stuff, and then the appropriate response so what? So they sent me a letter and said well, we will stop your pay but we want to give you 6 months to reconsider :) After six months I wrote back and said thanks for the opportunity, bye bye. Best decision I ever made, I make more money in a typical day than they used to pay me in a month, other days nothing. I suspect that some successful SPs are much the same. Better to be your own boss... Do I actually have a job now? Some would say no, others would say yes, you employ people so you are the boss. I'm never quite sure but I'm not hurting financially and also able to be moral -- that's all that's important to me now. So I think SPs that enjoy their work and give value for the funds received are doing what they do best, same as me. Call it not a real job if you dare :)

 

but it's kinda too late and too close to retirement now

 

I say just don't fall into the trap of working 100% of the the time for another 2% of your pension. Life is too short for that.

Don't worry BRM about the trap...best course the government ever sent me on was a three day retirement course in Kingston...well one reason it was the best course is because I had an encounter (actually a skydiving lesson) with Emily Rushton one evening while on the course (oh and Emily gives excellent skydiving lessons), no one in the class understood why I had a big smile on my face, oh, I digress.

Anyhow back to reality about the 2%. I certainly am not locked into the trap of 2% of your pension. I learned in real terms your monthly pension income doesn't change too much. I was aiming for 32 years (64% pension) There isn't much difference between that and a full pension 35 years (70% pension, which btw is the max you can get)

I was only looking at 32 years because that gives me the indexing as well. But a couple of guys last night, a friend and a former boss, both retired said the indexing is negligible so I was looking at 5 years, I may be gone in 3...don't know yet. But I can't go now, and unfortunately I do hate my job.

Well RG, seems you have handle on it. Best thing I can say is if you "hate my [your] job" then ASAP is indicated. You will never be happier (although it does take a few months to realize you need not live on Kraft dinner and that you will be Ok once you make the leap). In fact it was a full year after I "quit" and then looked at my bank account balance and had the revelation "Holy cow, I have way more money than I ever had" before it sunk in that I had really made the right decision :)

 

Of course all these decisions are highly personal and based on personal circumstances but GoC is poison, you and I both know that :)

 

The SPs are very lucky, IMHO as they have no boss (other than themselves, we hope) and if they provide good service they can work when and how they want. The oldest SP I have met was 55 or so and still going VERY strong with loyal clients. Real job? Hell yeah!

I would take the comment with a grain of salt. People tease me all the time that I don't have a real job. What I do have is the flexibility to work when I want, take as many holidays as I want and work as hard as I want without anyone looking over my shoulder and telling me what I should or should not do. I could never work for somebody else at this stage in my life. Fortunately, I love my job, work hard and on weekends when I have to and I make a very nice living.

In answer to your question...it is in reference to this

http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?ltr=E&t=68254

I still remember the twinkle in Emily's eyes when she suggested it, but the details, well a gentleman, well this gentleman doesn't give out details.

It is a euphemism, won't say exactly what, but what a wonderful magical memory that euphemism was, due in large part to the companion I was with, Emily, definitely when she says she is a date of a lifetime she tells the truth :-)

But now I'm getting a smile on my face thinking back to that very special evening Emily and I had

I think SPs and sex workers in general work pretty hard.

I really appreciate my own job cause I love what I do so I usually enjoy an SP who loves what she does too.

High job satisfaction usually leads to high quality performance of the job.

 

There are times when the work is harder than others I'm sure. When you have to entertain someone you really take a dislike to for any number of reasons; hygiene, obnoxious opinions, no chemistry of any kind etc. But i suppose that is the way with any service industry. I worked in the hospitality industry for a few years and had to smile and be nice when I really felt like not being very nice. It just goes with the territory.

 

I just don't get who is the judge of what constitutes a "real job?"

And I don't know why we should care.

Everyone has bills to pay and a mouth or mouths to feed and if you can do it while enjoying it....bonus!

What constitutes a real job?

 

There should be no 'constituting'.

 

A job done for services rendered equals money. End of story.

 

And for those who don't think this is a real job, I swear I wish there was some kind of reality show for behind the scenes of our jobs and how we do it. I would be the star of that show! Some of the shit I have and still have to put up with, many of you would be amazed. Like running around for a pair of white thigh highs for a clothing request and you can't find them anywhere and when you do, the store doesn't accept credit cards!! And you have to be at incall location in under 15 mins before client shows up.

 

And some of the things that are funny that clients never see. Like one time where I worked with another SP and she literally rushed in the condo coming from University with her regular streetclothes on. She saw her regular walking towards the building and somehow she got in the elevator before him. She made a mad dash to get changed but she had these knee high boots on and also had to get her tight jeans off. She was holding onto the door knob and I had her two legs like a wheel barrel in order to pull the boots and jeans off and the guy was already buzzed up.lol. I don't know how her and I did it but frantically, I threw a little outfit at her, she jumped in it and away she went. Meanwhile I was stuck in the other room for an hour.

 

Clients never see things like that because once at the door, the pros have a smile on their face like they've just been waiting all day for you. Yeah right....lol. I don't sit around an incall location all day that isn't mine. Try booking an appt when you're working at home for another business and most clients of mine want right now or 20 mins later... So I know that if I want to make money that day the following is what's going to happen...

 

Shower 3 mins....that is if you have waxed your legs and lady parts in advance and first client of the day before you even have a real chance to get ready because the positive part of it is clients are blowing up your phone at 9 am wanting to see you. Throw on lingerie ( sometimes incredibly difficult outfits where you have hooks to attach the stockings to and they never want to hook in properly), trow on sweat pants, t-shirt or little dress with no bra. Run for the door... hair is still wet by the way and not combed... no makeup... the makeup happens while you are driving and at all red lights. Including brushing of the hair. It takes 10 mins to get there so you are going a fast pace down the road passing cars and cutting them off including everyone and their mother while trying to put a fake eyelash on as part of a customer request. You park, run to incall location because you don`t want customer pulling up only to see you outside looking like you just swam the English Channel in track pants because the hair is still soaking wet. And worse in winter when you get isicles in it. You swing the front door open in a mad dash, your friend throws you mouthwash. You ask her if the bed is made like she was your maid. You race to take off the dowdy sweat pants, and now here is where the transformation begins...

 

Check makeup.... blowdry hair a little just so you don't look like a drowned rat.... Don`t forget that I have long blonde hair that will one day be almost down to my ass so this is a big time consumer every frikken day! Next, check to see if you actually look good. You look for heels.. nowhere in sight. You yell at your friend to get the shoes.. by this time she appears to be my personal assistant or a gopher for a diva queen celebrity for the way I yell at her to get me my stuff...she throws them up from downstairs hallway and ends up hitting me in the head. BTW, the client already has the address and is about to walk up to the door. At this point, all of this has happened in less than 5 mins and the doorbell rings. . you race for the stairs and then bam. You trip and fall in 6 inch heels. You get up and dust yourself off and open the door with a smile like nothing ever happened and secretly praying to Jesus that your ankle won't be broken...And the appt hasn't even begun yet. True story..

 

The above is a day in the life of me when I'm working and not just this job since having another home business on the side. And try doing this a couple of times a day back and forth and (may not get paid in case they decide to stand you up with no notice beforehand) in the middle of it dealing with bullshit with other things in your life with running a household, family, other businesses. Everyone deals with bullshit on the job..just different versions of it. If what I go through above in the process of scheduling an appt doesn't coincide with what is considered a real job, I will tell people to blow it our their dittybag because I work hard!

 

However I still enjoy what I do minus doofus' and morons as the good clients overrule them. I also get to the call the shots, how I run my business, I find ways to minimize bullshit and have gained quite a bit of experience ( and not just laying on my back) to deal with different customers, their personalities and their quirks. Sometimes, as in any customer service job, I swear I could blow a lid with the way a few in the minority present themselves to me. Instead, I shift gears to turn a situation around since I have become so accustomed to dealing with irrate people and situations on other jobs. . And then you just bitch to any other SP friend that will listen. lol. This job is often a walk in the park when it comes to dealing with people. I find that I am multifaceted and can adjust to any type of personality that comes my way. And then there is the business aspect of it... marketing. So far, I think I can give myself a pat on the back because I do go beyond customer expectations by treating the customer than just better. I go the extra mile for them. You learn a lot of things on this `` job`` and have no problem with it. I'm comfortable with the job, my sexuality and most importantly... me!

It's funny how people always think of our work as the time we spend with our customers. That's the one part of it that, to me, doesn't seem so much like work.

 

But there's a lot more that customers don't think of to this job. Everything from writing ad copy and designing our web sites, to making travel arrangements, to getting audited, to laundering the linens. I guess I'm pretty good at avoiding seeing people I wouldn't like spending time with, but one part of the job that I really don't enjoy (but have learned the hard way that I really must do myself) is answering phones and emails. That's where I'm most likely to encounter people I don't like.

 

This is a business, and every independent is running a business.

The laundry comment Christine made above caught my eye. It reminded of me and a friend after a duo. We went back to her place and I got to see her post-work routine. She hand washes her lingerie and off it went into a bowl of sudsy water. There was more to it than that but it reminded me that the amount of laundry we do is quite exceptional.

Hey Cristy,

 

In regard to your original post, firstly, screw anonymous idiots who get their cheap kicks by calling and harassing people. They're likely penniless fucktards who are bitter because they can't afford quality company. We all get asshole customers in practically any kind of business. Got to let it roll off like water beads on a Turtle Waxed car.

 

And yes, this is a real job. Time and energy goes into marketing and attracting clients, maintaining a repeat customer base, organizing appointments, managing financials. Actually, it's more of a small business than a job, and I admire the entrepreneurial spirit! It takes a lot of guts to start up an enterprise.

 

As for Shayla, wow. She's got great pics and I was looking forward to seeing her someday, but beauty's pretty worthless with a crappy attitude like that. I'd feel a little sad and offended if I were called a "j--n", even by a fellow hobbyist, because of the perceived negative stereotype, so I can understand somewhat how SPs would feel when called the H-word. I've been told by SPs that CERB guys are great ("they're usually business types"), so why would a SP want to get herself banned from such an invaluable marketing tool? A little word of advice Shayla, go to the library and check out an old marketing series called "Guerilla Marketing" and read it thrice. Do you really want to limit yourself to CL and BP clients (no offense intended to CLers and BPers...I look at them from time to time)? I don't think she needs a permanent ban, but a "take the time to think about what you posted" ban. Sometimes I say stupid things; happens to us all.
