Need to vent

Need to vent

Hi everyone

I need to vent!!

I'm not coping

I'm not enjoying my new job. It's mundane, boring and triggering. For those who don't know, I was made redundant in my pharmacy job 4 days before Christmas. I then found a casual job at a supermarket. The job I do is very boring. I have far too much 'alone' time at work so my mind wanders to a lot of stuff. I asked my supervisor if i could learn the registers as thats what i would love to do. she replied that she couldn't until next year, don't know why as we are so short staffed and they need extras.

They advertise extra shifts or replacing a shift on facebook, which i really hate. but that's how they do it. i asked my supervisor if i could pick up extra shifts even though i don't know the registers. she replied yes thats fine that i would still do cleaning.

The other day a staff member posted she needed someone to do a shift. i was the first one tyo reply and accept the shift. another girl replied after me. the staff member replied back to me saying she would give that shift to the second girl as i don't know tyhe registers. I was so annoyed, angry and then upset. I feel used, and discriminated.

The problem is I am 'too scared' to confront my supervisor and ask again as i don't want the other member to get into gtrouble. so this means that i can't get any extra shifts until i learn the registers.

it is so wrong

the other issue i am having is seeing the old pharmacy customers. it's not an issue in that i see them, they love to talk. some still didn't know i had gone!!! but each time i see them and they say 'oh i am sorry to what happened to you' i get upset, hurt angry at the new owners. i miss the girls i used to work with and the job.

working for a much much bigger organisation is hard. there is so much clicks, so much politics and crap. i try to go in and do my job and go home.

but with so much time on my hands at work i start to think negatively.

i have recentyly had terrible vertigo, a 5 day migraine and today again another headache. i decided to call in sick and was spoken to so rude and short by the supervisor. it's like she doesn't believe me when i call in sick. and my anxiety is extremely high in having to ring her.

i don't have the confidence to leave and get another job. i feel i am not good enough

i am sorry to vent, i know a lot of you are struggling with your own issues. and that i should be thankful that i do have a job, as a lot of people have lost theirs.

hi @Shaz51 @saltandpepper @MDT @BPDSurvivor @Emelia8 @Owlunar @Eve7 and others reading

Another beautiful Melbourne day. Hubby and I decided to go for a drive, an hour away from home, to a beautiful lake. they had paddle boats and we decided lets go on them, so much fun. we did a nice long walk through the trees. there is also a very popular train but we didn't see it.

I am feeling anxious now about tomorrow at work. the owner/boss wants to chat to me about me having last wednesday off. now it is what it is; i cant take back that i told him about my anxiety and depression. it's too late; so we'll see what happens.

Hope everyone had a nice day. xxxxoo

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow @BlueBay and trusting the meeting goes well.

Re: Need to vent

Wishing you good luck for the talk, and yeah, tis what it is, but it's nothing to feel remorse about. You're human, with thoughts/emotions/feelings, there's nothing wrong with that and I think it's good you've been able to communicate that to them really.

Also, ugh, reading about your day sounded kind of amazing @BlueBay. Good day out with your partner. Not gonna lie, made me ache a bit. Guess I must be feeling a little lonely.

Hi @saltandpepper @Eve7 @Shaz51 @MDT @BPDSurvivor @Owlunar @Emelia8 and ithers readi

my boss didn't say much on Monday. He just said thst they're interviewing a girl today and hoping she'll do the 4-7 shift so Msybe thdn I won't have to eirk thst late. He understands thst I hadn't worked long hours for a while. But he assured me with this new girl it should be easier for me. We'll see.

I've got an extra shift tomorrow snother late night 10-7pm. On Monday my back was so sore.
not looking forward to it. Not even excited about wirk. My doctor is concerned thst I'll have a breakdown if I don't be careful with taking extra shifts.
this morning I took myself to a meditation class. I was nervous. Never gone somewhere like this alone. I d loved it. It was very relaxing. I'm going back next week. It's just what I need to calm my nerves down. Last night I could feel my body shaking.

tomight I've got a headache and stomach pain.
