Horny Guys Rejoice

The inspector showed up at 10:20 on Monday.We passed both the rough inspections.As I followed him through the building he said there was some additional requirements since we had upgraded the wiring.I asked if that was going to be a bad thing."It's going to be an expensive thing" he said.I let out a big sigh tilted my head toward him and said"I've spent over $10000 already.I don't own this building ,I only rent it and the city is forcing me out in less than a year.I'm not sure how much more expense I can afford to put into this place.".He looked at me a moment but didn't answer.We walked back into the main room and he said we had to have smoke detectors hardwired into each room. He asked about the address listed with the electric company and said he would call to release our meter.That didn't sound too bad.I called and sent up an appointment for our meter to be reinstalled contingent on his calling in the release.After calling the electric co 7 times to see if he had called in the release I gave him a call at 4:15.He said the meter would not be released until after the final inspection.I really wanted to argue with him but I grit my teeth put on a stupid little lady voice and apologized for my misunderstanding what he had said.

The electrician came out the following day(after I threatened to fire him)to finish up and get us ready for the final.Earlier in the morning I called to confirm he was still coming and he said he had to finish the job he was on then he would be straight there.He and his wife showed up at the usual 4:00.Later in the night he was telling Adam about some on line game he had been playing all day.We ended up being there until 11:45pm.I was furious when Adam told me what he had been doing all day(That's probably why he waited until the electrician left to tell me.).That wasn't all I found out after he left.Earlier that day I had changed into some old clothes to paint.I am not an organized person but I do have an exact way I do things.I always tuck my panties into my pants pocket,fold my bra and lay in on top of the pants.Then I fold my top and lay it over the bra tucking in the sides.My son saw the electrician holding my bra.He told Adam.Adam was on his way to the office when he saw the electricians wife going in the same direction.(The clothing was purposely put out of the way could not have easily been disturbed.)He let it go and figured she would handle it.I don't know what happened but my bra ended up spread out on top of the pile and my white shirt has a black stain on the front I haven't been able to get out.My Mom drilled into our heads to make sure we always had on clean nice looking undergarments.She always used the example of a car accident that would result in our being taken to the hospital.I'm not sure she ever thought about the electrician scenario.

The final did take place the following day.The inspector was overly nice and passed us even though the dumb ass electrician had left some blank space things out of the fuse box.He said he would be back the following day so to get it done.The electrician came in and finished up some switches and a few other things that we noticed were wrong once the power was restored.There is still one outlet that doesn't work but he is suppose to come back to fix it.

The freon line broke when the ac/c guy was doing some final connection and testing the new return/handler.We have to buy a new condenser since they don't make parts for the one we have.So we won't have air conditioning until tomorrow afternoon.Thank God for the cool weekend.We reopened Thursday night and did 31 sessions(I knew our horny friends wouldn't let us down.Maybe that's vice/ versa.Whichever it was a day of rejoice for horny guy in our area.).Friday Diana got sick and we closed 3 hours early.(We didn't have anyone to sit with our son at that time of night on such short notice and Adam goes crazy if I even suggest working alone at night.He hates when I work during the day alone.)Friday we still managed to get in 31 sessions(the same # as the previous night,weird) Saturday we finished with 37.It was a good weekend,the sessions were long and we finished only a few hundred below our weekly average.For the first time in 15 days I was happy.Out of my 9 girls that were so broke and desperate only 3 showed up to work Thursday night.I always told you they were slack asses.

Now that we are making money again and I don't have so much to worry about I can call the guy to come open the pool.I am so excited.

We have almost no savings left.I am just thankful we had the money to get all the repairs done.

The case of The Missing Quarter

Remember the inspections we had scheduled for Friday? They didn't happen!The inspector went to the building next door.I only know this because they brought over papers, left in their mailbox, saying we had failed because the building was locked.It gets a bit confusing but 3 buildings on the same tax id tract have the exact same address.Our building would have been the one with the permit on the door and all the debris out back.It should have been common sense.Even though I am giving the city the benefit of doubt I called the atty.If they are trying to screw me I'm not going to lay down and take it quietly.The atty said if we haven't had our inspection by 11am on Monday to call him back and either him or his assistant would go sit in the building inspection office until they came to inspect with him or his agent present.He really would too.He just loves to fight the city on just about any issue that it's possible to fight over.This is good for us because he has become a pro at clogging the city down in paper work and being a big enough thorn that they will often settle just to get him to go away.He doesn't extort money from the taxpayers. Most of his victories are in considerations or overturning decisions on technicalities that give businesses more time or another chance they were unjustly denied.He is the reason we are still open at our current location.The city came in one day actually they sent in their police dept bullies to inform us they had made a mistake in letting our license be renewed by another jurisdiction for the past 9 years.They demanded we close immediately and never reopen at the same location.Isn't that some unfair shit?Late Friday afternoon I also called the dumb ass inspector that had failed the wrong building.He seemed nice and apologized several times.He knew there was a strip club there.I told him that was us ,the strip club.He assured me we would be his first appointment on Monday.We'll see.

The girls are all so paranoid I didn't tell them we hadn't been inspected.I just left an updated message saying we have another inspection scheduled for Monday and that we will reopen early next week.They are all paranoid that the city is going to bog us down in red tape and not allow us to reopen.If I let them know our 2ND inspection date didn't happen it will reaffirm their fears and cause them to panic and look for employment elsewhere.I didn't actually lie to them.I just chose my words carefully and left out certain unflattering facts.We should be able to open Wednesday night and that will only be one day behind the Tuesday deadline I gave them before.

Yesterday I went to Lowe's to pick up a rug and a piece of vinyl.The room is an odd shape and I couldn't find a vinyl remnant big enough that would fit in the car.The rolled vinyl they custom cut was even larger than the Pre-cut.I settled instead on a piece of remnant carpeting that was folded in half and taped.My two sons had come with me. Once at the car we quickly realized it wasn't going to fit.I called several people with bigger vehicles.Diana was the only one I could reach.She was across town at the grocery store.I was feeling quite silly with all the people in the parking lot staring at us with this over sized piece of carpet sticking out the door.It seemed obvious it wasn't going to work.Me being the stubborn and determined person I am refused to give up.It took about 15 minutes but I smashed and folded and smushed that carpet in.The doors barely closed and there didn't seem to be any room for either boy in the back seat.Neither of them were up for riding in trunk and sharing a seat or sitting in the others lap was even less of an option.In the end my 13 year old 5'7 145 lbs son wiggled his way into a  laying(he couldn't fit sitting up)  down position on top of the carpet.Luckily Adam's mother lives only a few blocks from there and we dumped the carpet out on her front porch before he got too many cramps.I know the lady waiting in car beside us got a great laugh and had to think I was a lunatic.Hell, I felt like a idiot myself.The boys said it was like riding in a clown car.My 13 year old said he was getting a new perspective on the world.I guess riding sideways will do that for you.

My small world theory proved true again.A couple of days ago a regular client came in and asked if there was any girls that would see him on an out call.He said his house had caught fire and he had some money left from the insurance.He pulled up his shirt and had an envelope with money sticking out the top tucked into his waistband.I called Serena and she set up for him to get a room and she would visit with him for an hour.He showed her his envelope and said there was $3200 there.He paid her then went into the bathroom leaving his cash on the dresser.He came rushing out a few seconds later and counted his money in front of her.When Diana came back to pick her up from the hotel the guy stood in the doorway as Serena came to the car.She asked if Diana had a quarter.Diana got a quarter out of the console and handed it to her.She walked back to the guy waiting in the door and handed him the quarter.When she got back in the car Diana asked "What was that all about?".After counting his money the client insisted she had stolen a quarter from the dresser.Serena couldn't believe he accused her of ignoring $3200 in bills and snatching a quarter.This guy had just given her $120 for the hour and another $100 for a tip and was now upset over the quarter he was convinced she had taken.Once assured she would return the coin when her ride arrived he was fine and they proceed to have a great fuck.Some people are just so weird.I guess it takes all kinds.Oh, I almost forgot the small world part.The next evening Carrie called angry that Serena was doing out calls.She couldn't figure out how Carrie would have known about it.The client had been Carrie's husband's boss.Carrie wasn't really mad just jealous.She is as broke as the rest of us and her husband will not let her do out calls.Being the way too nice person that I am,I did not take a cut of the out call but Serena did have to pay Diana for the ride.      

Hurry,Hurry then wait!

It has finally been done,I have officially come crashing down into the real world.I have admitted defeat,sucked it up(with the hours we have been keeping and the stress I'm sorry to say that's all the sucking that is being done:() and notified everyone we that we won't open until next week.It's been 11 days since we made any money!This is awful.I am not use to being broke(not without many shopping bags to show for it).

I just hate being under the control of electricians and inspectors(or anyone else for that matter).They must get some perverse jolly in torturing broke desperate women.The new a/c guy we hired isn't included because he busted his hump to finish on time.The electrician has been a disappointment,let us count the ways.1.Saturday he arrived with two others are took out all the old wiring.That took about 3 hours.2.Sunday two out of 5 guys showed.I can sympathize with call-outs and understood his falling behind.3.Monday he did not come or call.I called him in the evening and he promised it would be finished the following day.4.Tuesday I called him around noon to find out when he was coming.Later that afternoon I called again to confirm he would still be there.At 7:00 I made a third call to inquire about his not showing up.Wednesday an appearance was finally made.He is there at about 1:00 and works 1 1/2 hours with his wife serving as his assistant before leaving for supplies and to check on another crew.At 4:30 he and his wife reappear.He promises to finish that night so the inspection can be done the following day.Another electrician arrives at 8:00 to help.We get out of there at 10:15 with all but 2 small things completed for the rough inspection to take place the following day.He is going to call in the inspection before 9:00 and it will be done the same day.We have been at the club since 9:00 that morning and are frustrated, hungry and tired .The a/c guy that started on Tuesday finished today even though his helper didn't come in .Thursday we drag ourselves out of bed and trudge to the club at 8:30 to ensure we don't miss the inspector.The electrician call at 9:30 to say he missed the cut off time for a same day inspection.He is on a another job and will be at Ambrosia when he winds that up there.The a/c guy calls at 11:00 to say their inspection is scheduled for today.Our electrician strolls in at 1:00 and does a lot more than the 2 things from last night.Adam has also discovered some old wire that needs to be removed.It was easy for him to miss somethings with the two cheap flashlights and candles lighting the club last night.The a/c people must be brilliant because they figured out the first day that if they brought a generator they could have light and actually could see what they were doing.Damn those smart guys they think of everything first.They even charged the batteries in their high powered lights instead of relying on Adam to bring two fully charged batteries for his.I give electroman his dues for working into the night and dragging along his wife to help get the job done.It was just poor planning on his part.Patience is not my strongest attribute.I had made the decision that if electroman had not shown back up Wednesday I was firing him.When he got back Adam talked to him and I went and sat in the car awhile to cool off.Maybe that's why he stayed so late to finish. Maybe I overrate my importance by thinking we should have been a top priority.The a/c  guy called the inspectors office to make sure they would get to us today and reassured me to stay until 5:00.Guess what?THEY LIED!None came!In 12 years there has never been so many guys not coming at Ambrosia!We usually have the opposite effect.I was even prepared to dole out a few full service sessions. Too bad they were bad little boys,now they get nutthin(OK that was corny but give me a break it's been a rough day).Tomorrow we will be back at the club at 8:30 waiting for the inspector.It wouldn't be so frustrating if there were anything we could do.The ceiling can't be put up until after the inspection,cleanup would be redundant before the sheet rock is finished,the light fixtures,flooring (water damaged carpet in one room,new vinyl in another),vents and return can't be installed until the ceilings are up,our electric meter won't be returned until the day after inspection, and a final inspection must take place after all the previous task are complete and only then will I start making money again.

That's my past few days in a nut shell.My new possible career choice as a contractor is over.I'm not sure if a heart attack or tracking and strangling lazy workers would end it for me.My top goes off to all you contractors.I have a new found respect and sympathy for you(mainly sympathy you need that the most).

I started a new book The Serial Killer Files by Harold Schechter.It is good so far.There is a ton of information and the stories date back to the 1700S.Most compilations like this one rehash the same few famous cases but this one actually has some new ones.The pictures are mainly crude illustrations an I would have preferred some actual photos but I would still recommend this to book anyone(except my mother who only reads romances and Louis L'Amour(sp?). 

PS. Thanks for the comment Roy!It's nice to know someone enjoys my ramblings.I don't give a location because it would hinder my ability to be candid.Getting girls to girls to stick around it's an easy thing and some may not appreciate my thoughts on their lives.It's a small world and I would probably be handing my self over to the DA'S office with a big ole set of cuffs on top.If this were a commercial site to drum up clients I would be biased and just tell you things that would encourage you to give us your money.As it is I just want to share a little free fun and maybe give you something to think about.:-)Hell maybe you'll realize your life isn't as screwy once you hear about ours.

Good Night All,

SEEING IS BELIEVING!

Well, the best part of the past week was when I went to buy new light fixtures.Diana works long hours and I think she was feeling left out so I invited her to help me pick the fixtures and the new ceiling fan.She is much thriftier than I and thanks to her I saved quite a bit by buying cheaper pretty fixtures instead of the more expensive ones I first fancied.  I love Lowes!What I don't love is going broke.We have been a week without an income.The bill is currently at the $10,000.00 mark.It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to leave the location in less than a year.Hell,I don't even own the building.I don't expect to speak to the owner until tomorrow.The electrician has about 4 hours of work left and the a/c guy starts tomorrow.The a/c man is going to bring in a bigger than usual crew and finish the job in 2 days which in phenomenal.He's a friend of a friend/client.I'm using all means possible to reopen quickly.We should be ready for the electrical and mechanical inspections on Thursday.Maybe I have found a new career choice,contractor.I have been lighting some fires of my own under people's asses.

I met with Jo and Serena today to pay some tips I owed them.Jo had changed her hair.It is in tiny micro-mini braids.She resembles Janet Jackson.Last week her hair was a light brown and in soft curls.The color set off her skin tone perfectly.I guess you figured out that Jo is black.She has always had a pretty face but recently she lost about 20 lbs and is just beautiful.Jo's has never been fat.She was always firm but still had baby fat.She looks incredible now.Fortunately she lost weight in all the right places and is still a (natural) full DD.

Some of the clients that have stopped in or phoned seem more lost than we are with the club being closed.Sunday the electrician was working on the light plate by the front door when two of our regular Asian clients walked up.He was blocking the front door and explained we were closed.The younger client turned to the other and spoke in their language for a few minutes.When they turned to leave the electrician moved slightly to the side and continued working.The two men turned back toward the door and rushed in past him.I tried hard not to laugh.I pointed to the missing ceiling and filled them in on the fire and our progress toward reopening.The younger being the only one that understands English again spoke with his elder companion.The older gentlemen faced me and babbled off something I assumed to be an apology because it ended with the word sorry.When they actually left the electrician said"They must not have believed me".That is just one example of our clients determination to see for themselves why we are not open.I smile and oblige them.Some callers are sound so lost ,I find myself consoling them and promising that we will be open real soon.Our phone message is updated every day or so to keep our "friends" informed.It's easier than them insisting on coming in and interrupting the workers for information if I'm not able to intercept them first.

I'm not sure what is worse,being up so damn early every morning or knocking on poverty's door.Okay,maybe I do know.It is definitely waiting on the door step of the poor house but being up at the crack of dawn does nothing pleasant for me either.Oh Yeah,I'm officially spoiled (was anyway).

LATER Amber

TOO HOTT????

Well you guys are not going to believe what happened!I'm always sharing how hot men get in the club.This time we took friction a little too far.My precious little club caught on FIRE!This is no stupid Ole April Fools thing.My club actually caught FIRE!Realistically it is probably considered a small amount of damage.Unfortunately there is nothing small about the bills that are blazing their way through my funds.Things have happened before that I wasn't thrilled with paying for but I still had an income.Now it's all going and there is nothing coming(there is going to be a bunch of stressed out men in our city).This really really is bringing me down.I'm keeping in touch with the girls and minimizing the damage while maximizing my optimism.Don't get me wrong I am happy it wasn't any worse.We should be able to open back next weekend.That's what I keep telling everyone but it will probably be the following week.

That club means so much to me.It represents my finally accomplishing something.I bought my first car with money from that club.My youngest son has had an incredible education thanks to Ambrosia.We have been able to help family members in a way we never could have imagined before opening the club.

The fire started first thing in the morning.Diana called to tell me she turned on the heat and smoke came from the vents and maybe I should call the a/c guy.I went to Adam and asked what could cause smoke from the vents.There was a little spark igniting in me pulsing fire, fire ,fire.I just didn't want to acknowledge it.I called Diana back and told her I would hold for her to go outside and see if there was any smoke coming from the top of the building."Yeah,the building is on fire"she said."Call the Fire Department now" I said."Do you know the number or can you look it up for me?"asked Diana."Dial 911"I said.

Standing at home thinking of our only means of income literally going up in smoke I stayed completely calm.When someone calls out,or other little annoyances occur I get livid.I can throw tantrums with the best of them.Then here I am faced with potentially losing everything and I am completely calm.My voice doesn't raise,my jaw is relaxed and tears are not even a thought.Maybe it just hadn't sank in yet.I have always been this way.I do not get excited over major events.Adam has given me a $3000 bracelet and got a smile.A couple of weeks ago I was squealing over a .30 pack of Razzles candy I hadn't seen for sale in a few years.Maybe it truly is the little things in life.Little things or not I want my club back NOW(okay yesterday)!

When I got on the scene the fire had been put out and the firemen were reeling in their hose and preparing to leave.I first spoke with two men who were obviously in charge.(The highest ranking guy is a regular of ours)They explained how the fire started and the steps I would need to take and the agencies that would be involved in our reopening.Then I was led into the building by a different man and the property damage was explained to me.The firemen had done more damage than the fire.I am not complaining and do understand it was necessary to ensure there was no hidden smoldering.The fire fighters actually went beyond their duties to ensure as little property damage as possible.They stacked our chair to the side away from dripping water and the crumbling Sheetrock ceiling.Our pictures were removed from the walls and placed in a safer location.When I get the club reopened I am going to do something nice for them.Maybe get a catered meal or something sent to the fire house.Jo flirted with a few and invited them to come back to see her when we reopened.That's my girls ,never miss an opportunity.After the building was "turned over to me" Diana came in to see if I was alright.When I had walked through the door and actually saw the damage the emotion kicked in.I didn't let any tears flow until the firemen had left me alone but it was hard to contain.I went in the dark office to call Adam at about the same time Jo and Sommer walked in.I heard Sommer crying loudly and Diana did her best to usher them out without letting them see me.I hate people to see me in my weak moments.I am suppose to be this super whore(I am not really a whore but as the Queen of them I am guilty by association.As I think back on some of the "respectable" members of society I have encountered I think I would be more proud to be a whore.) that is always in control.Everyone knows I lose my temper and have pretty bad mood swings.That's okay just not the crying helpless little victim role.Wow,maybe I have issues,YOU THINK! In the end Diana and Adam were the only ones to see me cry.The funny thing is as hard as I fight to be strong and in control everybody treats me like a porcelain doll.People always want to take care of me and don't think I can do hard work.Diana didn't want to let me help with cleaning up the initial insulation and fallen ceiling.She said it would make me itch and irritate my hands.She's a girl too!Adam wouldn't let me help rip out the wet ceilings.I did a bit when he was occupied else where anyway.My mother-in -law and her husband do construction and they never let me do anything but paint.No Doubt did a song I always refer to as my theme song I'm Just A Girl.While I'm whining my Dad never let me do yard work either,it wasn't for a girl.Sometimes it's nice to have people try to take care of you but I can do stuff too.Yeah,I've got my 13 year old pursed lips and scowling face plastered on.

The city is making us rewire the entire building.The wiring is old and does not meet current codes.The fire was not caused by the wiring and almost none was damaged.I called the attorney and was prepared to wage war(again).He let me know I was right about there being a clause for older construction not having to meet the current standards as long as no more than 50% of the structure had not sustained damage.We are closer to 15%.I had some time to simmer down before I got his answer and decided it was quicker and easier to have the whole bitch rewired.The electrician got the permit today and will start tomorrow.(somebody up stairs looks after me)We could not even object the issue until Monday and the project will be over then.I still can't believe the electrician is working on a Saturday and his full crew will be there Sunday.It really pays to be nice to people.Our usual a/c guy is MIA.We have a friend of a friend coming in on Monday.I am hoping he can start on Tuesday.We had a larger company give us an estimate.They wanted $7000.00.If we didn't have to leave the building in 8-10 months I would look at it as an investment.But we do,so I don't and I will wait till Monday for another estimate and hopefully a deal.It must be safe but I want to get off as cheap as possible(don't we all:))Our savings for a new location is going bye-bye at an alarming rate.The main objective is to reopen as soon as possible.My girls are accustomed to cash on a daily basis.Most of them have no savings and it is the first of the month and rent is due.I have called them regularly and assured them we would be open next weekend.I cannot afford to loose any of my Old Faithfuls.It's like the make new friends but keep the old ones song.Gold is more valuable than silver and it's all about the money.Well most of it anyway.
