Mostly just a vent post, but I have to get it off my chest. I work a full time job as a housekeeper and while the pay isn’t horrible compared to previous jobs I’ve had, I feel like I still have to sell my soul. I am lucky enough to still live with my parents so I don’t have to worry about rent, but I still need money for other bills. I’m just tired of working every weekday plus half days on Sundays for overtime and just feeling like I’m going nowhere basically. I can’t really afford to move out and even if I do, what’s the point? I’ll be having to work even more, and then eventually I start getting back problems like my older coworkers (I’m 22, they’re 50+) and being stuck in this rut until I die. I don’t have a lot of time to do anything for myself anymore. I used to love gaming but I don’t even have the energy to do that anymore, and because I have the worst hours (2:30pm-10:30pm), I get home and I can’t do anything. Just have to go to sleep.
This job isn’t horrible but I just wish I had more time to be human. A few hours in the morning each day isn’t enough. My supervisor is nice enough I suppose, the job isn’t extremely taxing, but again, I am tired of working every day. I just hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I don’t know if I can do this for the rest of my life. I don’t mind working but I would rather work way less, I’m sure many others feel the same. It truly does feel like this is somewhat of a dystopian society and sometimes I feel hopeless for my future, considering how young I still am. Thanks for reading.
