Plus I admit I'm very nervous because I need to drive almost 8 hours in a few days AND because now people keep asking me to DM D&D for them and I'm feeling bad turning people down?

yesterday police was called on the workplace too (not my fault, nor I was directly involved, but it was stressing because it made work much more complicated. One of the families from the building we clean once every two days had blades and caused a mess, now they've been sent away)
Erichthonios

So yeah I'm kind of a bundle of nerves and I'm here talking in the void becuase I don't want to really dump my worries to random people directly but it makes me feel a little better to just... talk
Tell the adults contacting you for dnd that there's a $25 fee to play, i bet you anything they will IMMEDIATELY back out

I'm saying 'no' but also holy shit.

I hate them but airbnb was like 'ooops too bad'
nah you need to clear out the goddamn fridge from now on
Erichthonios

they also don't leave the house EVER and their dog rats haven't been able to stop barking the whole time. There is 4 of them so they're on rotation

I think the issue with people in that age range is that they expect this to be an all inclusive hotel

I am going to try to calm down and see if I can write a bit but I'm just so tense because I was woken up twice by those assholes
Erichthonios
2 months ago
For context. a Night here? In my airbnb? It's around 50 bucks total inclused the cut for airbnb
I'm gonna be so real, I think you should blacklist these people and tell other airbnb owners to not accommodate them
they should be punished
Erichthonios

the CHEAPEST hotel here is https://images.plurk.com/5guKHfJVrv3NiI5clESsJk.png and it's the shit one

I just find awful having to run from my own house to have SOME peace. And yeah- the problem with reviews is: there's no protection and if they leave a bad one to ME I just get a tanked rating

Erichthonios

so I'm more whiny than usual
Oh sweetie, you don't have to apologize to me, this having to jump through hoops to appease people who CLEARLY do not respect you is outrageous
and I am genuinely wondering if it's worth it becuse you are so stressed out.
Erichthonios
2 months ago
I'm not sure. I'm only sure I'm changing job in 6 months when my contract ends. Airbnb is a small source of income but it may not be worth it
Erichthonios
2 months ago
It's probably becuase I'm on my own and it's literally 'I arrive home after 8-10 hours doing heavy labor (even emotionally speaking) and then I have to clean whatever is left behind or the next guests before getting ANY sleep if I can get ANY before going to my next work shift'
Erichthonios
2 months ago
even there- I'm planning to talk with my boss because seeing how the new two hires are treated made me REALLY realize I was kind of given the short end of the stick
Erichthonios
2 months ago
I'm a disability hire for their quota. I struggle to say no. But I'm also a tiny bit slower becuase apparently I 'talk too much with the guests' (I'm also a bit slower in general because the beds don't get uop to my level and I'm taller than the average person.
Erichthonios
2 months ago
But at my THIRD shift I was told 'you are too slow, we can't have you do anything but nights'
Erichthonios
2 months ago
but this last current hire is going for her second month and everyone keeps complaining about how slow she is but she can still do all shifts freely?
Erichthonios
2 months ago
And I got shafted the whole month with the toxic coworker no one wants to work with
Erichthonios
2 months ago
since I was the only one who didn't protest
Erichthonios
2 months ago
so yeah. I'm just- leaving when I get a chance. I stopped writing, creating, even rping normally or doing stuff that made me happy once I started here because I'm constantly tired
Erichthonios

I love my guests, they're lovely, but my sanity is slowl slipping away. I can't remmeber the last time I did some proper fanarting that wasn't driven by 'person asked me' or some fic writing that wasn't for a 'theme week' (and I didn't complete EITHER themed weeks this time because I just had no energy)
Erichthonios
2 months ago
sorry, I'm just. Constantly SO tense. I didn't use to be like this
Nah I think your workplace is fully taking advantage of you because you can't say no and they are fully aware of that
Likewise with your airbnb clients
Your kindness is a springboard for others' shittiness and that is so unfair to you

I just know it's really starting to sink on me how unhappy I have been for months now.

no one wants to do it because it's the shift where they shove EVERYTHING people don't do during the day

The owner also owns the immigration houses we're FORCED to clean every two nights where one of my coworkers has almost been stabbed (the family was moved away last night after another incident. nd it's not an 'immigration problem' because all other families from [country] are just fine

1) I need to warn them one month in advance
2) they used 'based on the government laws of pay and stuff' but they don't actually follow it and no one but me wants to do anything about it

You really should try and get out of there early, this job is massively taking advantage of you. I would be surprised if it's even legal for them to force you to buy your own safety equipment when they're providing it for others.

I did sleep. Sorry about earlier, I just- exhaustion was there and being constantly woken up made a real number on me.

I woke up with rain hitting the car and that's actually very nice. And yes, I'm aware they're taking advantage of me but right now I'm not 100% sure on how to handle this.
AND NO it's not legal. But they provide 'medium sized' gloves so they technically DO provide them. But again, they complain when more than 4 are used each shift (with 22 guests) with
Erichthonios
2 months ago
everyone. Personally, I feel disgusting not changing gloves between each guest when I do intimate cleaning and all. The workers do have a communal alcohol bottle, tho, to spray on their gloves as they move around. So there's that, I guess?
