Imagine that


Work is hard.
I don't have to remind anyone of that because it is a crappy job and everyone knows it and that's why no one works it.
The pay is low, the work is labored.
Feet hurt, backs hurt, you clean up after other people who don't give a crap because it isn't their house so they crap all over, throw stuff all over, they do things in motel rooms you would not believe.
I once had a room where the only thing they used was the bathroom and that was to apparently shave every hair on their body off. ISH!

I don't hate my job, because if I did, I wouldn't work there. But I have my days where it's worse than others.

That's when I listen to Muse or Metallica or Johnny Cash or Five Finger Death Punch because the boys put that music on my playlist and to listen to that music makes me feel better about having a crappy job for some reason.

They also put Imagine by John Lennon on my playlist and today I had that moment that song played into my work.

I opened a room, not too bad, kind of clean actually, just used. The worst thing was the Vicks VapoRub smell in it, which I kind o like----when sick.

But as I stripped the room of dirty linens, I found this note with four dollars under it.

It made me understand that this world has alot of good people in it.
Because four dollars is four dollars and half of what I make in an hour.

Thanks to those people that know how hard us housekeepers work, because tips are far and few. (Not like bartending in a strip bar lol)
But I decided to post the song for this post so that people know, this world is a wonderful place. Life is good and a tip can make a housekeeper's whole day.


Thanks for understanding
from the one who fluffs your pillows
Your housekeeper.
