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.

Afternoon @Shaz51, I hope your doc can provide some relief next week 💙 Make sure you take it easy where you can till then. Also sorry to hear that your step S2 is returning to a relationship that sounds like won't serve him. It is so hard to sit back and watch when you've seen that train coming before 😔

Another day another headache

I feel like I’m complaining all the time

had a twinge feeling in my chest today but didn’t tell hubby

see how I go

I know that on Monday at hospital I will be seen by a consultant doctor to do a physical so I will def mention all my issues. That way while I’m in there things may get done like tests.

trying to finish seeing about 10 baby burp cloths. I have some 12 of them recently. Finishing last order now. Hope I get more orders soon.
ive decided to add a waterproof nappy change mat and a wash cloth. There simple to make and don’t take long to make.

a friend of mine suggested knitting a drink bottle bag with a long strap to put over your head like a tiny handbag. Have to look into this.

hope you’re all having an ok Saturday afternoon.
xxxxooooo
