Two days as housekeeper were tiring. Especially the first day. Follow the manager to all the cabins (they are like far apart, so drive is necessary). Wah i think we covered like at least 20 log cabins, with 4 check out and few stay-over (tidy up). But my manager did most of the cleaning and stuff. He is really very 'zai' in it lar..Well he worked here for 9 years le.
(on the right is the so called cabin i m refering to)
Today was much better. Only three check outs and 2 stay over. so pretty relax. (and we check all the cabins the day before). Plus today got another experienced housekeeper with us. Wah he is very meticulous i would say. He really wipe and clean things thoroughly etc. Went to this laundry room to clean up..omg..all the insects and spiderweb, I like try to 'gein' by not squatting and go underneath to clean all the webs haha..but in the end saw the experienced guy who did it, haiz bo bian have to do it also (my boss, manager like very serious and like pms today, must be me lar..haha think i very not up to his grade leh...they are fast..which make me more stress lor..)
Then we headed down to a chapel that was locked. wah...-_-!! inside is full of dead houseflies. really very bad..worse than the laundry room. Took the whole squad, which is like 8 people at the most? (cabin cleaners and resort cleaners to clean up the place and its still nt very clean in the sense lar..but compared to the housefly invested.realli imagine the window, benches, floor all with flies..cannot siam one by not stepping on it..no clean area for you to step on... but okie lar..at least wun kanna spider webs in the face.
(on the right is the resort/room like where our hq is lar..where the supplies are. So we will pack everything we need and put it into a van and drive to the cabins around the place which is wat i do with my manager. Other housekeepers will stay here n tidy up the rooms, without any need to move around)
Those doing all the housecleaning, kitchen helpers, servers are all mirgrants workers, from philippines, indonesia, etc....so thehouse keeping squad is yup from philippines. And they are really very nice and friendly; on the other hand some Americans really think they are the bosses that kind...i meant...realli lar..u can feel the discrimination still lar...BUT not all of the whites are like that! some are realli friendly and nice..like a lady just now..she overheard that i needed coins for washing my laundry and offered to me. haha..but then again..there are really irritating people....
Anyway..my job is hands on, dirty, shit job that kind. Well if you were to say wat can i learn from it..well...maybe i will start a cleaning service? no lar..but then..an experience to see how an organisation works, and of course the interpersonal rls and a clearer picture of the migrant workers and discrimination and stuff and how cocky some Americans could be.....
