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.

Another night of disturbed sleep

ruminating, worrying thinking and then no sleep

awake since 5am and now I’m tired

I hate having the responsibility put on me

it’s too much pressure

we are going to look at house for second time tomorrow and then if we are both happy we will put in an offer

it's so stressful

Re: Need to vent

All good @BlueBay , no stress at all. This is YOUR space to post what is important for you and whatever is on your mind - with the purpose of having your voice heard, validated and accepted.

All the best with your second look at that house tomorrow. It will be so exciting once you get in!

You're further than me! I still don't know what I'm doing while in between houses. It's such an 'effort' to think about.

I'm not stressed though which is good.

It’s good that you’re not stressed @tyme

My younger son called from os. He and his girlfriend are having a fantastic time. They went to see where his nonna (my MIL) was born. The house. It’s still there. My husband’s cousin drove him to see the house. They have now gone to a water theme park. Lucky them!!!

it was nice to see them both in video. There in Italy for another week then off to Majorca for a week or two then settling down in uk.
that’s when the holiday stops as they will be working. Hopefully they start work soon.

i miss him so much. Just so quiet not having him around at hime.

Hi @BlueBay,

Did you end up seeing the house again? What do you think of it?

Hope to hear from you.

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BPDSurvivor

we did see house and hubby out an offer which they have accepted. We haven’t signed anything yet.
but we are so undecided. I was thinking why are we so bad in making a decision.
Reasons for moving

- reduce mortgage

- live without stressing financially

- 20 mins from daughter

- house we saw today is 4 bd and 16 month old

reasons for not moving so far

- we both love the beach and area

- have lived in our area permanently for 26 yrs abd I’ve been coming to our area since a child

- 20 mins from daughter

I don’t know what to do.
