work work work..

I work at a hotel here in my town under the job category: housekeeping (aka making beds and getting rid of the dried poop in the toilet bowl). I work about 7-13 hours a week, get free breakfast, and I get to keep whatever the guest left in their room. I get paid alright, but it’s a physically demanding job. However knowing that I’m making my own money makes it a little better. Anyways, since I don’t have school anymore work is probably the only productive thing I’ll be doing for the next month.

Today was another work day, woke up at 8:30, I found out I only had to clean 10 rooms (sweet). For breakfast I found out the chef at the hotel was one of the cooks for the wedding the prince of Denmark had yesterday and he brought some stuff back, got to taste their dessert. Since I’m not a big fan of marzipan I couldn’t eat it, but it looked good though.

Anways.. I’m starting to get use to the whole working thing, actually learned a thing or two in the hotel industry. And from my observations I can actually tell if the guest was a woman, a fat man, a smoker, and a business man.

• Women LOVE to use all the towels, leave powder and foundation residue on the sink, and a bunch of lipstick stained tissue papers all over the room and occasionally make up on the pillow. Plus the whole rooms smells like The Body Shop.
• Fat men.. well, I can just SMELL it.
• Smoker, the smell and the cigarette butts that can never be flushed.
• Business men, they use one or two towels and neatly hang it on the towel thingy, the don’t use the soap or the cup. Their bed seems untouched, they are actually pretty neat. Less hassle to clean

Some tips if you want to spare the person who’s cleaning your room work:

1. If ever you leave shit marks in the toilet bowl, scrub it with the toilet brush. IT NOT THAT HARD plus it’s still fresh after you wipe your ass. Imagine, leaving it there for hours, it’s all dried up and stuck there and requires a lot of bending over and scrubbing and some hard core chemicals.
2. Don’t use ALL the freaking towels, especially when you’re in a single room. Especially those guests who require a new towell ever single time I clean their room. Most hotels have that “hey you wanna save the environment by reussing your towel..” thing, I suggest most people do this.
3.  Flush the toilet. PLEASE.
4.  Tip us, it makes our job less miserable. HAHAHAHA.. ok ok ok.. not necessary, but after cleaning like 13 rooms finding some money or any form of thank you or something make our day a little nicer.

 So yeah, just try to make as little damage in the room as possible. Whatever mess you leave there someone has to clean it up… and that someone is me!

PS. sorry for spelling and grammar mistakes, I’m too lazy to read it over.
