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.

Re: Need to vent

Sorry to hear its been such a tough night @BlueBay and also that the headache continues to linger. Hope you get a chance to rest through the day and the head eases.

Are you still in lockdown, or are you regional? Perhaps you will get a visit from little A. Or get some fresh air, by taking Jersey for a walk?

Take care @BlueBay 💕

@saltandpepper nice to see you here lately too.

Re: Need to vent

Thsnks lovely @Emelia8

still in lockdown - another week

I will go for a walk if my headache eases up

I'm resting at the moment

even though I feel we're regional we're classified as part of Melbourne.
and of course lots of people are heading down here while in lockdown.
I had a lady at the chemist yesterday telling me how great it is thst she drove down here to stay in lockdown!!! So wrong. We've had a few hot spots in our area.
it's scary.

How are you this morning? Xxxxx

Re: Need to vent

how do you stop a dream going through your mind all day

i just finished a nice bath but when i closed my eyes all i could see was this bad dream

dream of my brother (one of the abousers) with his third wife (ex now) and a disabled daughter

a lot of people at my house for a party

and a guy at my house party who sexually abuses me

such a mixed up dream; going from one thing to another

how do i stop my mind from racing and waking me up during the night

thinking of so much; going from one thing to another

i even tried to count backwards to help me sleep

but i still couldn't get to sleep

i am sure that's why i still have a headache
