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

Thank you @Shaz51

little A came into our bed at about 4am. Hubby left for work at 4.30am. I was sleeping right on the edge. Then at 5.30 older son wakes up to find jersey on Ayla’s bed asleep!! Little A then wakes up and says “nonna my tummy is hungry we need to get up now”!!!!!

so we were up at 5.45am. She had cereal, piece of toast with jam, a sliced apple and then a small piece of orange cake I made few days ago!!! Talk about growing.
took her to swimming where we met my daughter.

she’s so cute. Yesterday she helped me breadcrumb the chicken. And then helped make Anzac biscuits. I love her hugs she gives snd she says out of the blue “nonna you’re the best nonna ever I love you “


now I’m home alone laying on the bed with a sore lower back. I’m so tired.

She’s home now with her mum @hanami

I will see her on Friday as her dad picks her up from my place for the night.

ruminating a bit today. Can’t get my mums conversation out of my head.

Re: Need to vent

Oh, I understand that rumination! I have ruminated about stuff my mum has said to me sooooo many times. We are in a good place right now thank goodness but honestly have had a tumultuous relationship overt the years. You wonder how your own mum can do/say such things to their own child. My mum is 74 now and has changed for the better in the last few years but there are times I still feel like I'm walking on eggshells. Sorry to take over and make it about me but just wanted to let you know, I can understand x

Nothing can surpass the unconditional love from our grandchildren @BlueBay

My eldest grandchild looked at me once and said “I want you to be immortal, Ma”.

Oh my @Eve7

That's just divine! What little blessings they are ❤️

Re: Need to vent

No need to say sorry @hanami , we all need hugs daily 💖

And mine with my mum has been great until lately only due to her dementia and been unwell

But with my dad , I have always been rejected constantly throughout my life as @BlueBay knows

But together we stand strong and understanding what we are all going through xx

Re: Need to vent

It's just awful isn't it! My dad has always been there for me so I'm very grateful for that. But it wouldn't take my mum much at all to not speak to me for weeks on end.

I'm very grateful for this community too and the way everyone is here for each other 💓
