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.

hi @BPDSurvivor @tyme @creative_writer @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @Snowie @hanami @FloatingFeather @Eve7

last night hubby went to the city with son and daughter and son-in-law to a concert

little A stayed with me and she was sooooo tired from a birthday party and not spending much time with her mum. she was so grumpy, wanted her mum and would not come to me. finally after a long time she settled and i took her to mcdonalds for dinner. she was very excited because she got a book in her happy meal pack. came home bathed her and i read a book in her bed and she fell asleep. i went to bed at 9.30 and couldn't sleep as i was getting scared that someone would come in and attack us.

terrible dreams about my mum, me screaming at her and her again.

taking A to the park and a baby chino later on. then a quiet afternoon.

Re: Need to vent

Awwww, that sounds like such beautiful Nonna, Little A time @BlueBay . I wish I was a fly on the wall.

Kids bring so much joy. Did you end up reading the Happy Meal book to her? I definitely like the idea of books rather than toys as a choice in Happy Meals.

I hope you have a great time at the park, and enjoy your ccinnos!!!

Re: Need to vent

Oh yeah @tyme little A loves to help all the time.

Hey @BlueBay , quoting above, do you think it is a self-fulfilling prophecy? It doesn't have to be that way. I've been there. It's not pleasant. What is something you can do so it doesn't become the norm?

You can do it 🙂

Re: Need to vent

The thing is @tyme is that because I had little A today I had so much love. So much delight when she’s around.
niwa she’s not with me - it’s a big drop if happiness.
does this make sense??

i am home alone during the week. I will start packing things in boxes.

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

I absolutely get it @BlueBay . It shows me that you want to be around people who can show you love; and you know little people can't hurt you, they love you and you can love them back.

I've been there.

I thrive on having kids around.

However, throwing myself in the deep end, I'm beginning to learn to interact with adults a lot better - I have found some skills that I never knew existed! This is only the beginning of my discovery, so I'll see how it unfolds.

In the meantime, set yourself some goals in the morning. Which cupboard/room are you going to pack.

I'm still staring at everything and I don't know where to start packing - so at least you are one step ahead of me.

How long do you have? I've got until end of September or early October. I need to check.
