Hey all. Recently, the management has switched me from Tuesday to Saturday, and I am happy because of that. But, with nice weather coming and such, would it be a bad idea for me to ask them to switch me to Fridays? (Which I know they are just as busy). I do take quite a few weekend trips every month (due to my racing), and I would hate to have to quit my racing...
Thanks for any and all suggestions/advice!! Steve |

I would talk to them about it, but make sure you convey to them that you are happy with what you have (if you truly are). They may be able to add you to Fridays as well as Saturdays. They could be testing you. If I owned a restaurant and I liked what a magician was doing for me on one of my slower days, I'd move him to a busier day to see if he could still function well. Then I'd put him on my busiest day, and offer him to stick around for all my busy days. I wouldn't just hire him to come in on my best day of the week because he could get in the way of my staff, and slow things down. Your busiest days advertise your service to the most people.
When it comes to working, you sometimes have to prioritize and sacrifice. Remember that the busier it is, the more people you get to advertise yourself to and possibly get more work outside the restaurant. It comes down to what you want more in the long run. Matt

For almost any professional entertainer, Saturday is "Prime Time". However, only you know your opportunity costs. What do you really give up? What is it really worth to you?
When my son was young, he traveled with me because he could not safely stay home. An advantage of night club shows was that he was asleep at showtime. And advantage of Mall shows was he could be there or in daycare. We had more quality time together. So one of the questions is "What else is on your plate?" Good Luck! Bob Sanders Magic By Sander |
