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.

@MDT I think it is your choice and you do what you feel is right for you. We need to put our MH first and prioritise it.

Great song.

Re: Need to vent

Hey guys just finished dinner - fish, roasted potatoes veggies and salad.
little A and I had a great day. Lots of cuddles, playing snd walking down a beautiful part of my area.
it was almost time for her dad to come and she says to me "Nonna I don't feel good I don't want to go to daddy's"

this has been a common theme for the past month. I asked her why she doesn't want to go. She told me that daddy doesn't play with her, he just watches tv. He still hasn't hit a bed for her. She's almost 4 and she sleeps in they're bed. And the past month when he has her she tells him she wants to come here to me.
something isn't right. He needs to spend time with his daughter. He needs to buy a bef. And if he csnt afford it he can buy a second hand one. That's what my dsughter did snd she only paid $80.
dhe told me she wants a frozen doona.

I don't know. Her sleeping with them is creating issues when she goes home because she asks to sleep with her mum. But my daughter says no and then she's fine.
her dad is a .....,,,, I csnt explain. He is lazy, uninterested.

we'll see what happens this weekend. I bet she comes back to us tomorrow earlier than 4pm.

Dinner sounds yummy @BlueBay Couldn't be bothered cooking here so had toast for tea.

Glad you had a good day with A hon. It sounds like she loves being with you and spending time with you. Sorry to hear she doesn't like going to her Dad's house. I agree, he does really need to get her a bed and spend more quality time with her.
