hi bestie
ok ok i know i said nothing really happened except for uni and work. WELL ACTUALLY. i guess i spoke too soon so let me tell you what creepy situation happened yesterday at work 🧍🏼♀️
so basically i started to work next to uni. my contract says that i have to work 20 hours a week - so 80 hours a month. it‘s not always evenly distributed so some weeks i might work more than others. now tell me why i worked 80 hours within the first two week? exhausting i‘m telling you! however, i thought the remaining work days of this month will be kind of relaxed since i had survived „the worst“ part already. well…
yesterday i was working the closing shift. the afternoon was already pretty busy with many guests arriving, some wanting drinks at the bar, then just typical office work with bookings etc (i‘m the only staff on the hotel during my shifts so mulittasking it is). the hotel closes the front desk at 9pm and that means i turn off the lights, lock the doors and all that stuff.
now at 8:55pm a woman walks in asking for a room, i tell her the available rooms and she tells me she wants to see the two categories. i check if those rooms are alright before showing her and when l come back this woman suddenly starts talking about guardian angels ???? let‘s pretend that‘s a normal situation and go show her the room. the room was too big for her - she wont need that much for one night - so ahe take the smaller one. perfect. i give her the code with which you can get your key AND open the second exit/entrance of the hotel when we close up the main doors. she pays and goes up to the second floor. meanwhile i‘m setting up all the booking for that walk in guest and not even 2 minutes later she comes down again.
„i don‘t like this room i want to take the other one you showed me“ well okay. different price and different code for the key of that one room. no problem. suddenly she can‘t find the door to the room (it‘s literally the second room) so i show her and she asks if there are other guests too - yes? yes there are. me again trying to finish the work since it‘s time to lock everything and finally go home. but no. she comes back and asks about the second entrance again (it‘s literally the only door you can see we are a smaller hotel 😭). okay but now she goes back and i finish everything. i‘m about to stamp my card and leave when SHE COMES BACK!!
„i can‘t stay here. i don‘t feel good here. it‘s all too quiet. i need to leave right now.“ hello what? i‘ve literally watched too much true crime for this.
okay i give her her money back, unlock everything so she can go - cause this woman needed to leave throught the main entrance.
called my boss to tell her what went down and her telling me what to do now lmao. obviously had to stay longet and check the rooms - which she left unlocked - and hide the keys where she had gotten the codes to in our office. could be that she might come back into the hotel with the codes she had gotten and get a key but now she can only enter the hotel and not the rooms.
bro i don‘t get scared or creeped out easily. i‘ve seen and experienced enough to be pretty chill about many things. but this was so insane to me. had to call my mom the whole way home hahahahaha (embarrassing)
i‘ll have to work again tomorrow and i‘m already curious if smth happened today cause idk i have a feeling 🫡
so yeah so much about ✨nothing is really going on✨
thank you for reading to this story on apparently a normal day in my life
