The guests in airbnb had me flee the house becuaase those two 50+ years old ladies don't get 'I need to sleep after night shift' and kept coming for every. single. little. shit
"We're out of coffee"
"Lady, I left you with 8 espresso shots for every day- and it's been three days That's 40 espresso in two days and half"
Proceeds to throw a tantrum
"Yeah but it's not enough
I was trying to SLEEP and they came banging on my door like something was on fucking fire but they just wanted (another) onion instead of, YOU KNOW, taking their fucking parked car and going to the store nearby
I just left and I'm going to try to get some sleep in the car but holy hell
playing sims 2 on my mini laptop for a bit and then trying to calm down, I don't need adults throwing tantrums
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?
I run a group for KIDS. Why is a bunch of adults reaching me on my personal phone without me giving it out to ask me to DM for them?
'I got the number from the kid's mom'
the mom from one of the problematic family kids, of course
I barely have time to live, I don't want to gt even more stuuff running and I can't be free entertainment for everyone. I just REALLY suck at saying no
so that gives me anxiety too
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)
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.
also those fucking women are outrageous what the HELL
asking their airbnb owner for food?? the fuck are you on vacation for?? GO BUY FOOD.
I hate them but airbnb was like 'ooops too bad'
nah you need to clear out the goddamn fridge from now on
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
buy your own fucking shit this isn't a charity
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
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
the CHEAPEST hotel here is

and it's the shit one
this sort of infantile behavior and disrespect should not be awarded
because they aren't the ones that reserved
with an account that is new new with no reviews
(well, they're sisters so. Son and nephew)
"If this person reserves, do not accept because it will probably be their relatives who are scumbags."
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
so I'm just seeing what airbnb will respond
also I'm REMOVING the 'smoking okay but outside' from my page. we're going SMOKE FREE from now on
I also think you should do a 2 pet maximum as well
because four dogs is insane.
I'm not sure that can be an option?
Sorry, it's just been a couple of tense days
tonight having to scrub a whole dining room on top of the normal night shift duties and the police thing didn't help, honestly.
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.
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
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'
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
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.
But at my THIRD shift I was told 'you are too slow, we can't have you do anything but nights'
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?
And I got shafted the whole month with the toxic coworker no one wants to work with
since I was the only one who didn't protest
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
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)
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.

:C
Hell, workplace makes me buy gloves. GLOVES
And they listen to families so much we're dealing with a guest that's so problematic with diapers we (the workers) are buying or own stuff to manage him
like this is coming in 9 days
We HAVE gloves. 4 every shift.
but they're medium only, I wear large at minimum

???
THAT'S NOT YOUR FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY
it's a private retirement house for people with big mental issues. I'm going to take a pic of my thing
the little... thing where I keep my stuff
I also have cleaning products because night shift is supposed to do assistance AND cleaning
no one wants to do it because it's the shift where they shove EVERYTHING people don't do during the day
Do they at least compensate you for that expense?? That's a work expense. They should have fucking budget for that
they expect to find stuff clean and done and nice and they will CUT pay if it doesn't happen but they'll not provide it all
okay do you have a like, a better business bureau equivalent because I would report this shit right away
tonight I'm showing you pics. I even have a BROOM becuase the default one is falling apart
It's insane but it's my current working condition
you SHOULD NOT be responsible for paying for work-related expenses
I think it explains why being creative in the past few months has been hard
that is THE WORKPLACE'S responsibility
I am aware but I also don't want the guests to struggle becasue those peopel are shitty
Okay I am going to level with you
And it may sound really bad but like
the only way the workplace will do anything about their shittiness
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
is if the guests suffer and stuff is put out publically about it
AND mostly owns a 'funeal house'
LIKE AS BAD AS IT IS, AND HOW MUCH YOU DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN
I know but Despite two coworkers being SHIT we just don't want people to struggle
those are mostly like kids. They have big issues, they spent their lives in gated communities
I KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT but not having people struggle should not come at the cost of your own personal finances and mental health
I jsut know I'll not renovate my contract because I just can't at this point, I've been miserable
Like, you are not obligated to sacrifice for others. You should not have to
Nor should you be EXPECTED to, and this is what's happening
the amount of times I say 'I'm going to do this' and then I just don't because I constantly have anxiety spikes OR exhaustion kicking in is insane
You know what's awful? the SISTER facility, the one that's not in the middle of nowhere? I was supposed to be sent there
I was supposed to go there in MARCH
I was not sent there and they actually have all the fancy stuff there.
Because all we have good where I work is taken there since they just opened a new wing
I need to be strong until january
And THEN I'm just not returning
nah fuck that shit that's 5 months away
I'm also stuck for he month (and have been most of last month) with a coworker that sees 'talking with guests' as a SLY against her
I would not wither away for 5 fucking months. I would start looking for somewhere else NOW.
OH I have three job offers already
But my contract won't end until january and I don't want to risk issues
because there are some clauses that just suck on my part and I didn't realize at first but
that is literall ball and chaining you to this place that's so scummy
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
god if a place made me sign a contract to work there I would never work for them lmfao
Like in ialy we have the 'tredicesima' and 'quattordicesima' which are two separate extra pays
PLEASE REPORT THEEEEEMMMM
tredicesima equals to an extra salary and it's in december. Quattordicesima is half a salary generally and it's... two months ago
LEAVE THAT SHIT ASS PLACE AND REPORT THEM TO THE GOVERNMENT
YEAH I want to but like everyone is like 'noooooo'
And I'm a whuss who worries about the guests like an idiot. Those people consider that place home
they'd be separated, sent other ways, who even knows if they'd have a place that can accomodate their 'uniqueness'
There's one dude who is mentally 7 there. Do you know what's like having to explain to him so many nights that 'mom is sleeping in another place, but she's coming to pick you up tomorrow' because he's 70+ and his memory is a mess?
And my current coworker is just SO rude to them so I try to take care of the emotional side of guest caring but it's draining?
SO YEAH. How I went from daily doodles and RP to... this. I think the airbnb situation is so much worse than it should be for me because I'm constantly on edge
thank you for letting me talk, I really needed it
I'm going to sleep one hour or so, if I can, then try to write a tiny bit. I still want to send Sunny in Maria's direction so badly I just- my activity overall keeps dropping over me being as I've been lately
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.
but please get some sleep
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
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?
Private healthcare in Italy is hellish at times

my... thing btw
I don't lie about it mostly being supplies I am not provided (the yellow floor cleaner is in extra doses bc it was in big discount)
