I put myself through college working for Kelly Temporary Services, which usually meant office jobs, but one summer I pulled a two week stint working hotel housekeeping. Wow! It's backbreaking, thankless work. I'm sure I could have adapted to it long term, but even on my young, toned, and athletic body, the work was merciless and left me aching for a hot soak every night. A lot of people treat hotel rooms much worse than their own homes, since they aren't the ones having to clean up the mess. I do understand that part of what we pay for at a hotel is the housekeeping, but to this day, I try to be considerate of those housekeepers that are often lifting 50-100 mattresses per day, on top of everything else. On a multi-night stay, I usually only have them touch up the room or leave fresh towels. When I check out, I always gather up the bathroom laundry and leave it in the tub, and I strip the bed, leaving the sheets in a pile, so that they at least don't have to do that. Yes, I know that isn't expected, but I just enjoy treating them the way I appreciated being treated when in their shoes.
