Been a cleaning lady since Covid
I picked up a new job. Third shift today. Housekeeping in another hotel…
I graduated hs and moved out at 18, COVID was being a thing at the time yknow. Anyways, ave been going hotel-hotel because it’s the only thing I can get to let me make a quick move.
I’ve tried to get apprenticeships for trades, even if I can get an interview they always manage to “fill the slot” the day before.
I’m running out of fumes. I’ve been trying to apply to entry level painting positions lately. I have done it a few times, did for my uncle for hs credits, but nobody seems interested as I’m out of a personal vehicle at the moment. Due to that I’ve tried applying into auto shops, they aren’t interested in me either.
I’m holding onto my current job for now. It’s not a big deal, I’m only getting 2-3 shifts a week and hours aren’t that long. I live near Windsor, in Ontario Canada, I’m 24f, and 5’2. I like building and fixing stuff. I’m just tired, and if I’m gonna break my body everyday I might as well make more than a starving wage (I have another adult to support right now too).
This hotel is fine staff and manager wise I think, but… since my shift yesterday I just keep having cycles of cries and I just can’t do it anymore. Ive not grown or improved anything, if anything my mental health and spirituality has just tanked more and more with each year I’m stuck with this because it’s all I can seem to be any good at.
Anyway, I have another burst of crying coming up. I have a shift in 2.5 hours. If anyone has any advice or ideas, please comment please don’t give me any sort of “tough love” comments, and I’m having a hard time with reading sarcasm lately so unless it’s super obvious I might not pick up on it. :/
