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.

Re: Need to vent

hi my beautiful friends @creative_writer @Snowie @hanami @Shaz51 @grayhorn @Emelia8 @Owlunar @oceangirl @MDT @Anastasia

and others following

I am better than yesterday. I woke up this morning, had breakfast, did a load of washing and went for a walk down the beach. Just seeing the waves and the wind blowing in my face was enough to make me feel ok. i then went to watch my little A (4 yr granddaughter) do her swimming lesson. She is getting much more confident and today put her head under the water!! Big claps and thumbs up from nonna.

My daughter and I then decided to go for a coffee and little A had to order her babychino and butterfly biscuit. A quick supermarket stop to get a few things; a play at the local park and then I came home.

Quiet afternoon, I have a GP appt tonight, i need to see about the results of my urine test from last week.

I get these thoughts of 'i should call my parents' and they come and go. i try not to get caught up in them but it is difficult. I am going to call tomorrow to see if i can go this weekend to see them, espeically for my dad. i know it's mothers day but this year I am not really that happy about seeing her. but i will probably still get her a bunch of flowers if i do end up going. If she says no again, i think i will need to let her know that she is pushing me away and have it out with her. Anyway we will see what happens.

on sunday my daughter, her partner and little A will come over for breakfast (brunch). It should be nice. my younger son won't be home as he will be away with his girlfriend and my older son will be working. So it will be just us and our daughter.

anyway, i hope you are all doing okay.

sending love and hugs xxxxxoooo
