7. “I worked for a short while as a hotel room cleaner, which was miserable. The pay was shit, the guests looked at you like dirt, and none of the staff liked each other. My mum had passed away that year, and I asked if I could have Father’s Day off to spend with my Dad, just because it was going to be difficult.”
“My boss said, ‘Well, the others like drinking on the weekend, so I don’t know if they’d be okay covering you.’ Eventually, I got them to agree, only to get a call on that morning asking me to go in because someone had called in, hungover. Then, my neighbor, who was a gentleman in his 70s, offered me a job as his cleaner, which I took happily. I went into the hotel, told my boss exactly what I thought of their behavior, and told her to shove her job up her ass — all at the reception desk in front of staff and several guests. Her FACE. Bliss.”
