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

good morning beautiful friends @Anastasia @BPDSurvivor @Shaz51 @MDT @Snowie @Emelia8

thannks everyone for your support over Fathers Day. I am sorry i didn't reply earlier. I haven't been well.

I had a doctor's appt yesterday at 1pm but at 12 I had the worst headache that i ended up at my doctors earlier. They made me lay down in a treatment room and my doctor came to see what was going on. My blood pressure was 190/100 (severe). The nurse took it twice and it was still the same. So my doctor ended up giving me an extra blood pressure med, a anti nausea med and 2 meds for the headache. He told me it was a severe migraine with the high BP. I had to lay there for a while until the BP went down. They checked it again an hour later and it dropped to 150/90 (still a bit high) but better than original. After more rest there I was allowed to go home. They called hubby and he walked down and drove me home. I went to bed and slept all night. I felt like I had been hit by a bus and was so exhausted. My GP wants to see me next week, but said if i got worse overnight or today to go to ER.

It's scary how quick it came on. i went for a nice walk in the morning and i was fine. But my GP said that's how migraines are - they come on instantly.

Today I am going to take it easy. Might try and go for a walk and get some fresh air. that always helps.

I am okay now about father's day.

Hope you are all doing okay and have a nice day 🙂 xxxxooo

Ended up making lasagna. My son had to go away last week and help control the border vic/nsw. So I thought I'd make his favourite meal!!!
