theres always gig jobs
the pay isnt great but theyre usually pretty fun and you meet cool people sometimes
Idk, the meeting people is the part I struggle with most of all.

Start having fun with it. Intentionally mispronounce guests names. Respond to them in slightly mocking tones, but make it so subtle they dont know. Shit in someones room.
Trust me, I mess up enough to keep it interesting already. Plus, it's probably the same housekeepers which means I don't have to mess with anyone's room. Guests have found the craziest stuff after housekeeping was "done" cleaning. Hopefully my shift won't have to deal with that.

Why couldn't you apply for other part-time work, if you don't mind my asking? Also, what were the passive sources and why did they dry up?
I could have, and was kind of looking. But when it came to actually applying, meeting new people, training for the job... That's the worst part. I'm no good with people. It scared me off from trying for a new job as long as I could help it.
Please don't judge, because I know it has a bad reputation, but I was selling NFTs. Saw a guy on CE talking about how easy it was to earn money that way. At that time I was wanting to quit the hotel, do any option was good. I set up an account, and put a picture up for sale... and it sold immediately. I was actually making more money for toying around on my phone for 20 minutes than I was a full shift at work.
The thing is, that was unreliable. I'd either make nothing or like $300 a night. But it averaged out to be better than working, so I quit. But then crypto crashed, people stopped buying, the site I use started charging to list one for sale. So basically I'm now either breaking even, or losing a bit. I haven't actually turned a profit from that in a few months.
Mom had some side projects I was funding too, which earned a little, but since things dried up neither of us have money to invest further into that.
So, I guess my plan is to use the income from the 2 nights to try move her projects further and I guess pay to list more pictures for sale for a higher price and hope that picks up again. Then of course, gonna save up for another beach trip this summer.
