The Wonderful World Of Housekeeping
So I’ve started my new job in the Housekeeping Department in an overseas hotel. Honestly I don’t have much experience in this area. What little experience I do have would comprise of cleaning a few student dorm rooms for a couple of weeks (mostly my own) and watching Maid In Manhattan more times than any sane and insane person combined. Bnot that there were a lot of people who watched that film in the first place so do keep that in mind before admitting me against my will.
The hotel has 330 rooms and mostly caters to golfers in the surrounding area. This means that we’re usually full only on weekends and public holidays, and during events like Asian PGA qualifying rounds when we get more weirdos than usual. There’s the lady in 342 who wants us to clean her bathroom everytime she takes a shower – which would normally not be a problem if your grooming pattern matches those of normal people or better yet, the French, but no, this lady showered five times today and the maid that was in charge of her block tried to slit her wrists all five times too.
Then there were those freaks in room 315 who tore the full-length mirror by their room entrance and placed it by the bedside facing their king-sized bed. I don’t even want to know why they did that. Perhaps they thought this was Motel 6. Room 287 kept calling the Guest Services complaining that there were ‘no towels’ which of course was not possible when I just sent a maid up an hour ago with two towels. Then we check the log book to find out that they already have eleven towels. Now I would usually file these kinds of things under small stuffs I swore not to unsweat, but when you’re only running on three pathetic pars, these things tend to annoy you more than usual too.
Before I go I apologize for the lack posts. I still have yet to get a stable internet connection here. I thank all my loyal visitors though who continualy visit and support my page :)
