My first months as a housekeeper

Let me start by saying I work in a hotel, and it’s in the medium to higher range, especially for the area. $80-$130 a night.

The first thing, our hotel is straight up just covered in mold. I seen them paint over mold and leaks instead of repairing. Some rooms are much worse than others. Some rooms are “newly renovated,” so I usually do those and even those have mold.

The other rooms that still have carpet have mold growing on the bottom of furniture too, and the tubs are full of rust and damage. I’m glad I get to do the “better” ones tbh because I would force them to seal and paint the tubs if I have to look at it all day.

So keep in mind the rooms I usually clean are “nice” and cost the most.

My first month working there, I kept finding sheets with period blood on it. At first I thought they were just accidents or like period sex mishaps… nope. Not all of them. There was multiple women using the pillows and sheets as their personal pads. There was 2 times in two different rooms in one day that I found some crazy period blood everywhere, someone had used a towel, and had an extra towel on the bedside table for their next go around. Like rancid ass behavior.

Then I had a room someone peed all over the bed, and a few doors down the hall on the same exact day, someone had smoked meth, inside a whole ass HOTEL, absolutely just trashed the place with spilled food and weird yellow residue over a damp pile of towels. I have to think the two rooms of people were all just having a meth party or something and were connected.

The one I just found yesterday was almost the grossest, I seen a yellow brown towel in the shower. My eyes told me it wasn’t dirt. It was POOP. Chunks of poop. And the shower was used, so the wash cloth was dripping wet, in a yellow brown puddle of poop waterrrr 😭😭😭😭😭😭

They have these dumb showers where you have this metal screen over the drain and stuff you have to pick up and clean under. Really annoying because it collects the entire contents of someone’s shower, hair, soap scum, snot, nasty stuff like dookie puddles.

I am just in disbelief tbh. I don’t know if it’s just because of the location or what…. I don’t know. I want to try another hotel

AMA My aunt was murdered and my uncle did it, ask me anything

When I was 2-4 years old, I can remember meeting my aunt for the first and last time. I remember she smelled like smoke because she smoked cigarettes inside. She had our cousins watch us while we played in her basement and all the adults talked upstairs. In her basement were bags upon bags of items, filling up the entire basement from floor to ceiling. I remember you could hardly walk at all in the basement, and I had plenty of fun climbing on all of her things. Inside were clothes or other random objects and my sister and I played dress up in her clothes. We had a lot of fun. I just really remember loving my aunt.

Then one day my parents told me she died. And then they told me a lie and said she died in a car crash falling asleep at the wheel. I believed it until I was 9 years old and my sister told me the truth. She was murdered by our uncle, who I forgot even existed. I went online and I searched up her full name and I found her story in old newspapers and blogs. AMA. I will not share her name as my cousins have never spoke publicly about her to any media source to my knowledge.

Showed up for my ticket where the trooper lied about my speed, and he never turned the ticket in. Now I have to wait until he turns it in to go to court again to prove he’s a liar. It was a 40 min drive here

Got the cutest little brisket

Never got a pre-trimmed brisket, but the $30 price tag convinced me. The bigger ones are too much meat for 2 people, and it still looked like a decent brisket despite the size so fuck it. Gonna use the offset with handchopped pecan

What causes clunking sound from back right wheel of a 2016 volkswagen jetta? Mostly on turns or accelerating 0-45.

220,000 miles

I will start by saying I always had a slight alignment problem that I never went to get fixed since it wasn’t really bad until recently. I have noticed for the past few months that my car is less responsive. When i go to take a turn from a dead stop, it feels like it takes foreverrrr to get speed while my steering wheel is turned. I mentioned it to my partner because he kept complaining I legit had to floor it to get it to go so we don’t get tboned and die but he didn’t think nothing of it. It’s not my transmission or anything, it’s something to do with the tlre. The suspension probably.

I notice it especially when I have to take a LEFT turn, it takes forever to go.

I also notice when I brake, it takes forever to brake, almost feels like I’m going to run it or rear end someone, I have to push extra hard. But my brakes and rotors are all good, no issue.

Last week, I started hearing a clunking coming from the front right tlre. It was louder when I did turns, especially my left turn. We were able identify the clunking was coming from my control arm, the bushing was complete shit. We replaced it.

That very night, I was driving and now there’s clunking from the right back tlre. Same side.

It’s not constant. It’s clunks on bumps and turns. It clunks mainly when I’m going below 45mph. So stop and go lights are the worst, it’s just clunk clunk clunk. I made the decision not to go to work tonight because the clunking got progressively worse over my trip home and it’s my one and only car. It’s especially bad when doing a left turn. I don’t know why my car hates lefts.

Is it going to be the back control arm now? Is it the hub? Any ideas from people with the same type of car?

I also did get sway bars for the front and a control arm for the left front as well, but I didn’t replace that yet. We had noticed when we took both my front tlres off and put it in drive to just check everything out that it was squeaking and groaning so hence the swaybars

What causes a 2016 jetta to have a clunking sound from the REAR wheel? It clunks mainly on turns and accelerating from 0-45, no scraping sound. Just had to replace a front control arm yesterday.

Hello any semi truck drivers here? Is your truck physically governed to 65 max? Specifically if you haul the ones with the walmart logo. And does the mean your vehicle literally can’t drive over 65mph?
