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

I'm sorry @BlueBay

Kids have such virulent bugs and gastro - rotten - and it has gone through your household with nearly everyone going down like nine-pins - bingo - not fun.

You can tell it's a bug when people get sick one after another - something you ate gets everyone at the same time - it seems like a 24 hour unpleasant thing - I hope people are recovering now and you are okay - you have enough health issues without adding one

And it seems A picked it up from her Dad's place - I was particularly sorry to read this

I was pretty raw when I read you were at the local ED for about 2 hours and it was crowded and yet no one was called in - understaffed - that is pretty disappointing. I guess the tourists get sick too - I don't blame them though - I am often a tourist but I do tend to travel off season -

Still - there have been times when I have just got up and walked out - and I thought - ah - the nurse gave A a tablet when you were leaving and some frozen sticks to suck - I wonder - really wonder - why she couldn't have given those when you turned up and you could have just gone home - which makes perfect sense to me

I am glad you appreciated my post - I don't normally want to write so much about myself on someone else's thread but on this occasion I thought that giving you some insight into my story might be in order because I did claw my way through life for years and I know what a battle it is and how it seems it can never end - but it does because life-circumstances do and you get older - which is a good thing. We learn with age - you are gaining a lof of life-information through all of this

So many people don't understand BPD - I certainly didn't - it has taken time and searching to learn - and also reading what you have written. There is no need to think yourself wrong for sharing your story as you do - you are spreading the word to other people - and this is a wonderful think and you have a wonderful gift in being able to write as you do

I am glad you are applying for jobs even though your health isn't good and there isn't a lot around where you live - a hospital pharmacy position would be perfect for you.

Just remember you don't need confidence to start - and I am glad to hear you are trying to live one day at a time - and what a bugger - a bug in your family's stomachs straight away. That''s life - alas

hi @Owlunar I was thinking the same thing about hodpital visit. They could have given A frozen hydralyte and we could have gone home.
hubby and younger son haven't caught it. Not sure they will.
It's a very rainy day here. A day to stsy inside. What are you doing today?
