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.

@Snowie You too.

Re: Need to vent

thank you so much @oceangirl

this morning i got up and had a coffee and decided to put dinner on in the slow cooker. made yellow curry beef with vegies. slowly cook all day and serve it with rice.

I also did a load of washing and my friend msg me to go for a walk and coffee. i wasn't going to go until she msg me so i went and had coffee down the beach. cold but nice.

now i am home and i am going to read my book. also doing a bit more knitting, trying to do quite a bit of different headbands so i can put them online to sell.

Yesterday i decided to order little A's presents online, so that is done now. even though her birthday is end of september, i want to be organised and it won't seem so costly if i buy bits and pieces.

hope you are well, what are your plans for today.

Hi @Snowie any plans for today, hope you are ok too.

Re: Need to vent

Hi lovely @Snowie

I was laying on my bed crying and kept telling myself 'just go for a walk, you'll feel better' - well i did!!!

i walked down to the beach and bought a coffee and just sat there watching the waves

it's a nice sunny day

home now i am going to make some banana muffins, then read more of my book maybe outside

i have opened all the windows to change the air inside, always makes me feel good when sun is out and windows are open

i am seeing my physio this afternoon, i had an injection in my left hip on monday but my right hip is terrible. while walking this morning, the pain was there with each step. hopefully my physio can help.

what are you doing today @Snowie ? xxxxooo
