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.

@BlueBay hugs are the best. Especially when I get them of my kids (which is not often since they are teenagers!!!)

This lockdown is hard hon. Can understand the need to stay busy.

What is for dinner?

Re: Need to vent

Think I'll make chicken bbq, veggies and salad abd Potato salad too. But I want to make a rice pudding dessert with peaches in it. It reminds me if my childhood my mum would make it all the time.

Hey friend

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

hi @MDT @BPDSurvivor @Snowie @Anastasia @Emelia8 @Shaz51 and others following


Bit of a lazy day, can't be bothered day!!! It's windy and cold this morning, did a bit of grocery shopping with hubby then stopped to grab a coffee and a 30 min walk down the beach. Home now can't be bothered to clean the hosue. I just want to sit and do nothing. I am feeling flat.

Yesterday I met up with a lady (who was in hospital with me 4 years ago) for a walk/coffee. 2 1/2 hours later I had to go home as little A was been dropped off earlier by her dad (as he wanted time to himself to relax!!! )

This lady talked all about herself from the moment I saw her to the time I walked to my car. She was married for 24 yrs with a child and her husband left her to go with her best friend. She then had a breakdown and still after 4 years she tells me that after everything he has done to her recently she still loves him.

To me she is too obsessed with him and this new lady. she wants to know every little detail they are doing, where they are living etc etrc. Her ex has even put an intervention order against her so she can't go to his house. And even her 18 yr old son won't talk to her; she of course she is a complete mess.

i said one little thing about me and then she kept going on and on about her stuff. I know she is lonely, has no friends and has just sold her house.

she even started to tell me how she tried to end her life. that has now stuck in my head

by the time i got home i had to sit and have lunch and another coffee. i said to myself that i won't be catching up with her too often. It's too draining, i tried to offer suggestions as to how to be a bit more organised with moving; that's all i can do.

do you think i am being too harsh, or should i be there for her??
