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 everyone

@Owlunar @Emelia8 @Former-Member @BPDSurvivor @Shaz51 @Eve7

i was seeing a physio at new clinic near home for hips snd back. I emailed her yesterday to say I won't be able to see her because I can't afford it. She just emailed saying she'll bulk bill. That was really nice of her. I'll make an appt tomorrow.
I had a busy day today. Two loads of washing by 8am. Then hubby snd I took littke A to the beach for a coffee and play at park.
painting with A this afternoon. Friend called in for coffee. Then daughters partner came over for dinner.
tomorrow my D is taking A to watch a movie. She asked if I would like to go. Yes I'm going to see Peter rabbit!! Littke A is very excited!!!

before I forget again - is @Maggie still around?? I haven't seen her for quite a while snd was wondering if I missed something that happened. I hope you're ok maggie. Miss you. Xxxx

You are a wonderful grandma my sister xoxo @BlueBay

Enjoy tomorrow with little A

A is eager to go to the movies all night

Re: Need to vent

That sounds beautiful @BlueBay !

Is this evident of how much people want you around? Your boss has told you not to resign, you've been asked to go to the movies, your Physio is wanting to see you and ready to bulk bill... the list goes on.

Next time, when negativity pokes up its head, see if you can hit it over the head with these pieces of evidence.

I'm so happy for you!

hi my friends

Oh I'm in pain. My stomach is very bloated. I ate chicken soup and eating thst caused pain under my right rib.

my doctor finally rang but was very dismissive about my pain. His answer was - don't drink coffee!!! I have 1-2 cups a day. It's not a lot. Snd I'm not even sure that's causing it.
I'm a bit annoyed with him.

Re: Need to vent

Good morning @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @Owlunar @Emelia8 @MDT and others

poor little A. We had to call ambulance last night as she was barking like a dog and wheezy. The paramedics were great eith her. She was taken to hospital at 11.30pm and they dudnt get home until 4am. My daughter partner drove to hospital and stayed then drive them home.
while the paramedic put the stickers on her chest she says to me "Nonna I don't have these stickers in my doctors bag"!!! He gave her a few to keep. She was happy.
they take A out to the ambulance and she says "Nonna they parked in mummy's car door"!!! Agsin the paramedics thought how funny this girl is.
apparently all the way to hospital she talked and sang!! They couldn't stop laughing. I'm sure she made their night!! Lol

so she has a virus. She's tucked in with my daughter asleep. I've just put heater on as it's cold. She's not going to her dads today.

im seeing my doctor this morning about gallbladder pain.
yestetday all day whenever I had a ciffee , tea or soup for dinner it would give me instant sharp psin as I swallowed. Right under my right rib area. That's why I think it's gallbladder related.
I did call my GP yesterday abd his response was "don't drink coffee" it's nothing.
so I'm going back because the pain is there. Why am I hsving pain?

Let you know later.

Re: Need to vent

thinking of you sister @BlueBay and your daughter and "A"

hope A feels better soon xxxx

how did you go with the doctor ??

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay ,

Sounds like there's always entertainment at your place! Hope Little A is better. It's probably this crazy weather. From 32 degrees to 14 degrees within a span of a few days!


I've got gallbladder issues. It's each time I have caffeine or oily food. I don't get pain but I get nauseous and end up vomiting most days because of it. Unless your chicken soup was oily, it possibly isn't your gallbladder. Did you get other pain?

My mother had huge gallstones and had to get her gallbladder removed. I remember watching her crippled with pain and vomiting, each time a gallstone was lodged in the wrong place. Want a happy sight... so yes, seems like I'm heading that way too, unfortunately. But my diet can change things. A lot has to do with the food you eat.
