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 @tyme

I’ve got until 28 Nov. but I can’t get motivated to start packing.
terrible headache this morning and feeling flat.

I don’t want to do anything. I’m isolating myself a lot. Don’t really care.

i don’t know anymore. Everything seems too hard.

Re: Need to vent

We have just bought a house!!!

We put an offer in over the weekend and today the owner accepted our offer. It’s at least $40,000 cheaper than what we expected. We were prepared to go higher but we didn’t need to.

I’ve got a headache and just resting.

no more looking around. That’s it. The new house is about 10 mins from our daughter and 20 mins to my dr and psych. And we have some beautiful walking tracks and beaches.

i don’t know but when good things happen I feel it’s not real. Like it’s too good to be true. Doesn’t anyone feel that. Then I think “ok I’m waiting for something bad to happen”.

Hi @BlueBay,

What exciting news - I'm so happy for you! Plus how good is it that you got it $40,000 cheaper than you expected!

You must be so relieved. Sounds like it is the perfect fit for you and your family being close to daughter, dr and psych. The tracks and beaches close by sound amazing.

I totally understand about that feeling that it all seems to good to be true and you are waiting for the bubble to burst but it is all true, and it's exciting. I'd really encourage you just to cease the excitement and the happiness of it all because it really is a great outcome!

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather

Re: Need to vent

Wonderful news @BlueBay , really happy and relieved for you. And its very exciting too. A new home ... wow! It sounds lovely, and pretty ideal all round. And even better, you have $40,000 extra in the bank that you didn't have to spend. Will settlement be at the same time as the sale of your house? I guess that will mean you will move in early December. Time to settle in nicely in time to spend Christmas in your new home. Enjoy the moment ... its a special time.

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay I’m glade you found a nice soon to be home. Sometimes it’s hard to accept when things go right, and it’s totally normal for it to feel unreal. But this is real 🙂. There is no sadness without joy or joy without sadness.
