Something’s not right

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.

I'm sorry I didn't respond yesterday sis @Shaz51 how are you tidsy?

@Owlunar bit rainy here today which is good for the garden. How's your day?
hi @BPDSurvivor @Faith-and-Hope 👋

@MDT almost forgot you!! 👋

im feeling a bit down. Tired. Actually I had an afternoon nap. No kids around all out. So I jumped into bed and slept for a bit. Obviously I needed it.

It's been crazy down my way this weekend. So many people. I would hate to be on the freeway going home. But it will be nice now just us locals. Until Easter!!

Hi @BlueBay ... good to see you again.

Thats nice that everyone is out, thus enabling you to have an afternoon nap. I did the same myself this afternoon.

We are likely to get some showers or maybe a thunderstorm here this afternoon too. Very hot and humid today. The rain will be welcome I think, in order to bring a refreshing cooler change. Pretty warm again tomorrow too, before a cooler change to mid 20's for remainder of week.

I'd forgotten it was a holiday today in Vic. You get all the visitors thanks to living in a beautiful seaside area. It has its myriad perks, but also the occasional down side with the inundation of tourists. I expect Easter, being a short sharp break, will be particularly crazy.

I'm sorry you never heard back from the job trial. Yes, thats right .. it is very poor form for them not to be in touch with results or feed back afterwards. Seems to be the thing lately. Its really not good enough. I guess with there being so many people looking for work, or needing to apply for work for Centrelink, there must be a lot of followups required. Maybe its just beyond them to get through them all. But if thats the case ... they should not promise that they will do so.

Okay, I have to go and do a few jobs. Such as get clothes off the line before rain comes. Its getting very dark right now, so it may not be far away.

Sending love your way Bluebay. Hi also to @Owlunar @Shaz51 .

Emelia 💓

Re: Need to vent

Thanks @MDT I feel crap. It's raining. I don't want to do anything tiday. Don't even want to go to wirk tomorrow.
Didn't have a good night. Was awake from 1am-3am. Thinking of stuff. Feeling desperate financially. Have to find 4 jobs a month for centrelink. even though I do work I still have to find work because I'm not working 20 hours a week. Doesn't sound like a lot but it's really hard to find suitable job. I know you understand that.
Oh what a day. Hasn't started well.
