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

on tuesday in my state of high anxiety and dissociating because of the stress of money lost I decided to email my psych. The problem is i don't have any memory of typing the email, sending it. only realised when i received a reply from them. and then after that I had the severe migraine attack and ended up in hospital.

all i remember is thinking in my head that i need to email my psych. that is all i remember. no memory of contents at all. its scary and i am not sure if it relates to the migraine. seeing my dr this monday morning and i will def tell him. its a bit scary.

this morning i went for a beach walk. first time for about 3 weeks. and then it rained so i stayed home in bed and watched tv while i crocheted.

cooked chicken and pumpkin risotto for dinner.

going to look at a home tomorrow morning in a new area where our son is going to build. it is about 20 mins away from my daughters. this house is 15 months old with everything in it and same price as we were going to pay for the other one we saw last week.

i am so over looking for houses and cannot wait until we purchase one. it's so stressful because it's such a huge purchase.
