Something’s not right

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

I have just booked my COVID vaccine for myself and hubby. This sunday. Now i am nervous about the 'what if'

I want to be able to travel one day. And I don't want to get this virus. So i have decided to just go and do it.

My boys are getting it done as well, but my daughter is very skeptical; so it's her choice. I can't tell her what to do.

This morning my friend msg me to go for a walk before the rain comes in this afternoon. We walked an hour to a beautiful spot at a marina, bought a coffee then walked home. Such a beautiful walk, nice fresh air and the sun shining.

I have finished another headband, I'll try to put up a picture on here soon. I really want to finish my book, only about 20 pages left. Might even put dinner on now, so i can rest this afternoon.

Hope you all have a great day, gee it's so nice to see the sun!!!

🙂

It got cold here today quite quickly.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything on atm

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Sorry to hear you are feeling overwhelmed @MDT

Am around for a bit if you need to chat.

It is cold and wet here today too. Trying to stay inside where it is nice and warm.

Sometimes I like to go out and brave the elements @Snowie
Might do that tonight not sure.

YEah work is making me anxious because its complex. Had a bunch of statisticians trying to explain our new task to our team. They couldn't do it succinctly. Just a case of engaging with it I guess. But not really interested in doing it haha lol

Yeah other than that I feel crowded out with things I need to do.

Uni, interning etc.

Re: Need to vent

Even though I love the snow @MDT I don't really like the wind or rain!!

Work does sound complex. I hope everything works out for you. It sounds like you have lots going on at the moment. I hope you are able to take some time for yourself too.

Re: Need to vent

I'm getting there @Snowie
somehow

I can feel it

I think at this stage it's just what I would call a "plateau" where I just coast along and do whatever. Lots has changed in my life but also in the things I am doing

I had a mircosleep for 3 mins and realised i could do something to take up the time
