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.

Yeah covid sucks @Shaz51

Can't do much about it so just have to take it as it comes.

Hopefully she will be able to go for it as soon as we open up again.

Re: Need to vent

I hope your D has a nice birthday on Monday @Snowie

Little A and I did some painting before, she loves mixing colours together to see what colour it turns out. Just a bit of fun. The hubby and I took her to the beach for an ice cream and a play at the park and the beach. It was a little bit cold, but not too bad.

She is so sweet, loves kisses and hugs and plays 'hairdressers' to do my hair. then she thinks she's like her mum 'a make up artist' and tells me she is putting make up on my face (pretend)!!!

In 1/2 hr her dad will pick her up and i know she doesn't like to go. I would love to be a fly on the wall and his house. Just to see if her interacts with her at all. I have a feeling that he doesn't and maybe his wife does a little but i think she gets bored there very quickly. That's why she tells him she wants to come to either my house or go home to mummy.

We'll see tomorrow if he texts little A mum to say can he bring her back to my house earlier. That's what is happening the last few weeks.

enjoy the rest Snowie xxxooo

I'm tired now, i could easily go to bed and have a sleep. Poor Jersey, she is hating the cone. Just before little A was sitting next to Jersey and patting her telling her 'it's okay'.

Hi @Shaz51 hope you are doing okay today. xxxooo

Re: Need to vent

Sounds great @BlueBay ! I'm so glad you're spending time with Little A. They bring such joy!

Re: Need to vent

Sounds like A loves spending time with you hon @BlueBay and you make it fun for her. Kids are such a good judge of character. Little A is no exception. No wonder she would rather spend time with you or her mum.

D will have another birthday in lockdown. Unfortunately some things I ordered on line have not come in time for her birthday so half of her presents she will have to wait longer for. Have already told her this and she seems ok with it.
