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.

Morning everyone @MDT @Snowie @Eve7 @oceangirl @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor and others reading on -

I am so tired. Awake just after 4.30am. I tossed and turned to try to go back to sleep but no luck. I am in a bit of pain this morning, my upper abdo (breastbone) and when pressed I can feel a tiny lump. I called my GP this morning and he starts at 1.00pm but i spoke to the nurse and she has booked me in to see him tonight at 7pm. But in the meantime I am going to take mylanta and she will call me back once my GP starts.

I start to panic as I think it could be a side effect from the vaccine. Not really sure???

Gosh it's onlyh 8.30am and the washing is out, the kitchen is cleaned and i have mopped the bathrooms and toilets.

now what do i do? - rest up and going back to bed to read more of my book. I do need to go down the street, but i will go later.

I have noticed that since reading and knitting I am not looking for jobs online. It used to consume my whole day but now i dont even look. This is huge for me as it was becoming addictive.

I hope everyone is doing okay as best can be. Have a nice day my friends xxxxxooooo

Re: Need to vent

What a productive morning @BlueBay ! Do it while you can!

Sounds like you've got your day planned. Don't you just love the feeling that things are clean and you've done so much!

As far as I'm concerned, chill for the day and enjoy your reading and knitting!

Ive soon got my first meeting for the day. Them I'll take things from there.

You know what else? I've been eating healthy for a long time. I feel like sinking my teeth into a delish burger and fries... in terms of delayed gratification, I might make myself wait a day or two. I'll let you know when I have it! (But usually, after eating such things, I realise it's not so delish after all). Oh well, the joys of human nature!

We all deserve a treat sometimes!

Re: Need to vent

Oh the cravings of junk food!!!
@BPDSurvivor
I've been craving potato cakes for about a week and still haven't got them. Because I know I'll suffer later. But they taste yum!!

ive been eating healthy as well. But since home I'm grazing during the day. Think it's been better for my stomach.

Have a good day xxx

Re: Need to vent

Hey @BlueBay ,

Rather than have junk, I ended up making a southern style chicken thigh fillet and salad burger - with a side of veges. I definitely enjoyed it!

What did you get up to today after your cleaning this morning?

I hope you found a way to treat yourself!
