Despite my room not being pleasant and clean everyday like a typical hostel stayer would expect, my room does have a lot of nice things. We have a toaster, a restroom, two showers, to fridges and a electronic kettle. In addition we have two tables, a few milk crate (that act as chairs) and 3 couches. This spot is great for people to socialize. And that's what many people do. Some are my roommates, there are other people that stay in the hostel and even a few young adults from town, they all hang out in that spot. Many of them out there smoke cigarettes and weed as well as drink. But during the night they can get kind of rowdy. They talk, they laugh and they wake others up (not me, I'm working at that time). So they rudely awakened tell management the management tells security and security tell the people outside my room to get out. That is how 3 of the people in my room and a few people in other rooms were kicked out over the course of two days. It wasn't as bad in the past, but this hostel now has a new owner and he has a no faffing about policy. One of the people in my room was kicked out just because his bosses friend didn't like him. Many of the people in my room are leaving because of the new rules put in place because of this new management. He is taking away many of the perks that this job has. It is weird having a half empty room.
It is also quite scary. Imagine being told on a days notice that you can no longer sleep in your bed that you have been resting on. The hostel is also fully booked for the next few weeks. Meaning if I were to be kicked out, I would have less than 16 hours to find another place to sleep, find a way to get there and then get to that location. I'm not going to lie; I could do it. It can be done, but that would also mean an immense amount of stress in that short period. Also all of the jobs that I spent time applying to would be void because I would not be able to work them being so far away.
I don't like to think about this too much. It stresses me out. I hope you guys don' mind me using this blog as a public diary of sorts.
