I walked away from a hotel that threw me into the dish pit like 3 days before the nationwide COVID lockdown, so I was furloughed and qualified for unemployment.

More recently I took a trash valet job that falsely advertised an hourly rate by hiding a disclaimer that it was actually nightly. Tbh, I only stuck with it because I saw it as getting paid to workout, but I kinda snapped when I got misted by a glass shards, so I just dumped the trash in a pile and peeled out.

oh i think i know what trash valet job it is the ones where they want you to bring your own truck? Id seen those and applied they told me I was "too far away" Im like 5 miles from the location they listed on Craigslist lol.
