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.

What a great idea @tyme xx

Re: Need to vent

It ended up being so cost effective and useful for the cold winter feet @Shaz51 @BlueBay . People now buy weighted blankets for their shoulders or heat pads, so why not have both in a homemade one?

They were easier to make than expected. The lavender in it is great. I have so many lavender plants so I just cut them and leave lavender posies to dry, hanging upside down.

Hugs today @BlueBay ,

I had a bit to catch up on since your last tag. Having Little A sounds like such a great distraction.

I had my niece with me last night. At 11pm, she said ‘my tummy feels empty and it’s making noises’. That’s because earlier in the day I explained to her what ‘starving’ means. Otherwise she’s forever saying ‘I’m starving! I’m starving’ as though she doesn’t get fed! She has like 3 breakfasts, Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper and snacks in between, but claims she’s ‘starving’ - so after our conversation yesterday, I think she’s more careful now with using the word ‘starving’!

Thinking of you Nonna @BlueBay , and here’s a hug you deserve

Hi @BlueBay

Gosh it sounds like yesterday afternoon and evening weren't so great for you. I hope you managed to feel a little calmer and get some sleep. How are things today?

Sending hugs

Hi @hanami @BPDSurvivor @tyme @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Emelia8 @tyme and others

well started is better so far. Went for a walk with a friend early this morning fown the beach. It was 4 deg but beautiful to see the water so calm.

then my daughter picked me up and we went to a local street market. A fairy lady face painted some butterflies on littke A face. She looked so cute!!!

a play at the park and then lunch which my daughter gladly paid for.
trip to the local library so littke A could borrow a few books.

now I’m home and I’m tired!! It’s a beautiful sunny day.

im going to give myself a daily goal of walking every morning. I know I fo feel good after walking especially in the cold air. It just wakes you up.

anyway I am better than the past few days. Thank you everyone for your kind words of support and just being here ♥️♥️♥️

@tyme great idea about the lavender wheat bags. I was going to make some but didn’t start. I’ll have to buy some material. Maybe next week when hubby gets paid.

So glad to hear things are better today @BlueBay .

You're welcome to join us on Walking for Wellness . @Oaktree is amazing at encouraging us to go for walks each day.

I'd love to be able to go walking on the beach each day. You're so lucky! Do the walk on my behalf.

Hugs,

tyme

Oh @BlueBay

That sounds like you've had such a wonderful day! I'm a bit envious of your outdoor activities as it has not stopped raining here for about 5 days! I'm honestly sooooo keen for some sunshine.

I hope this better feeling continues for you ❤️

Hanami 💮
