One thing I don't know about this job as a maid is that in the winter less people come so there is less work. After the summer is over I notice we do less work. Soon we work only 6 hours a day. Then there is 3 days off. One day I am told that there is no more work. For the first time I am laid off. I don't know what to do. Suddenly now I have nothing again. And because I live in this house only for the hotel I don't have much time to find a place.
What makes me angry is those from Asia kept the job. They are there 2 years. How come they can come to Canada and steal my job? It's not fair if you ask me. The manager of the hotel says I can stay 7 days in the room till I find a new place. I go to the other places and ask for a job but there is no job. Its the slow time. I'm new. Now I have no job.
I call my Papa and tell him. He said not to give up. He said I can go to Calgary for work. It's close. I pack my stuff up and I leave on the bus but I have no place to go in Calgary. I know I can find a place to rent for a night that is cheap. I have saved all my money I earned plus I have SP money still. It's good. I know I can live a while without a job. I get to Calgary and I call Papa. He tells me not to worry and he says I can go to this hotel. He has paid for it for me. It's just a few days to help me out. This hotel is in Eau Claire. I tell the taxi to go there. It's a pretty nice place when I get there. I ask the hotel if they have a job as I am a maid but they say there is no jobs. The lady tells me about other hotels downtown and I can go there. First I must go live someplace. First you find a place. Then you find a job.
I find a room for rent which you pay by the week. I can move in the end of the week. I stay in the hotel until then. I like this area around Eau Claire market. I decide to walk around to see Calgary. As I am walking I notice a street walker. It's near what I later learn is the French Maid. This area doesn't look like where you would find a street walker.
