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.

thanks a lot @Snowie xxxx

@oceangirl i am outside on the deck trying to read a book, but my level of concentration is not great.

@Shaz51 @MDT @Emelia8 @BPDSurvivor I didn't have a good night last night. I slept very lightly last night, waking up constantly and having nightmares in between of my mum and dad.

I woke up with a terrible headache at 4.30am and couldn't sleep. I am tired, cranky and flat.

I went for an early beach walk this morning and as I started to walk my son (overseas) called me. He wanted to chat as his girlfriend was away for a few days. He finally gets his first pay today so he is rapt. I told him about my mum and what had happened and he said she definitely has issues and she won't change or even listen to me.

I kept walking and talking and it was nice. He wants me to organise some flowers for my D engagement present so i will do that tomorrow.

stomach pains again, i have a feeling that stress is playing a big part in my pain. i am trying very hard to not think about my mum and do things i enjoy. I am not even attempting the beach at the moment at least for another week, when hopefully some tourists will go home. It is chaos down here, so much rubbish left behind and so many people and cars everywhere. So i stay home and it's nice and quiet.

Re: Need to vent

hi friends

happy new year!! i really wish a happy, healthy and loved year to you all.

last night my D came over for a bbq dinner, a board game and then a drive down the beach to see the fireworks. Little A fell asleep in the car but woke up once we got to the beach. this morning we drove to our D to pick up little A as my D and her fiance are going to the city to stay the night. it is my D birthday tomorrow.

so little A and hubby and I decided to take her to the local pool. it's a brand new one. she loves the water and kept splashing, swimming and jumping.

then off to maccas for her meal and now home. did two loads of washing, it's warm today so they will dry quick.

i am a bit tired, my mind is thinking of my mum a lot during the night. i am not sleeping properly and my mind is like talking to me, it's like i am having a conversation with my own mind. weird.

Hey @Shaz51 I’m out on the deck getting some vitamin D.
just finished a coffee. I’m trying to read a book but my mind is going elsewhere. It’s terrible. I just can’t.

Oh well. Hope you are ok. Have a nice day xxxxx
