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 @oceangirl @Paperdaisy @hanami @Emelia8 @Shaz51 @tyme and others following

Yes @BPDSurvivor it's starting to feel like home. We are having a deck built, the guys started yesterday and will finish today. We extended our outdoor area by double which will be amazing when the kids are all here or if we have friends over. A little bit of grass for Jersey to play on but she is fine, she loves to stay indoors most of the time.

It is extremely quiet, nice neighbours (the ones we have met so far) and i tend to keep to myself anyway.

Still have a few boxes to unpack but i am tired, and to be honest i don't know where to put them!! ha ha

They have started building my sons townhouse!! Yay about time. He should have been in there already but I think at least 6-8 months and he'll be in. Which will be good because then we will make his room into another tv room with a small lounge and i can go in there and read or crochet.

Little A is going to school today to meet her teacher for next year. She's hoping she gets a young teacher called Miss Georgia.

Catching up with a friend this morning for a coffee then my daughter and A will call in. she will tell me all about school and if she has Georgia next year.

i will come back later and chat again, better go. the tradies are here to start work again.

Having a young son in the police force I am so very sad with the devastating deaths of those QLD police officers.

this has scared me so much. The not knowing if my son will be safe at work. And if will come home safe.

Been crying today while trying to comprehend why. Such a sad time for all brothers and sisters of the police force across Australia.

Re: Need to vent

Yes @BlueBay 😔💔 I thought of you with your son in the police force, when I saw the shocking news overnight and this morning. Just dreadful, and beyond my comprehension how this can happen in a supposedly civilised world. Some young coppers just doing their job, checking on the welfare of a missing person. Unbelievably sad 😪 and must bring to the fore of all those serving, just how vulnerable they really are. ♥
