I simply cannot win....with anything at the moment it seems.
Woke up yesterday for work hoping that I wouldnt feel like crap again, but instead was feeling just that. Was almost crying sitting on the sofa trying to fill myself with caffeine before my 9 hour shift ahead. Rachel suggested it may be a case of either anaemia or stomach ulcer. Anameia due to the constant paleness of oneself, bad circulation, forever cold and constant sleepyness. Stomach Ulcer due to the constant worry and stressing, stomach aches and whenever consumption of alcohol takes place, it takes place heavily. Speculation of what is wrong with you is never a good idea, but some of the things do make sense. I have an appointment with the doctor next Thursday morning (day before my birthday no less) which I really wish was tomorrow because yet again, Im sick today.
Was meant to be at a PR meeting with BP this morning through the college but woke up this morning and literally couldnt move from my bed. Had to call my tutor and let her know, second time I've had to call her this week. She was really sympathetic on Monday but that was only for a simple class of signing in and leaving again (entirely pointless but part of what Aberdeen College does) Today I didnt even get to speak to her but another tutor to pass a message onto her. Dont see her again til next Monday so no use worrying about that just now.
After my whinge about all the days I had to work including my birthday and day after, something altogether different and worrying as hell happened yesterday. Got in to check what I was working next week only to see that every single rota for all depts had been taken down and were being changed. Kept my fingers crossed that I would luckily get one of the favoured days off but wasnt expecting much at all. Went into the admin office with Rowenna and Sam before they left for the day to sneak a peek at the rotas....found next week's and saw that I was off for my birthday and wasnt starting until 3.30 the next day ^_^ Only a 4 hour shift to cope with. There was no sign of this weeks shifts which I imagined they wouldnt have changed but at the end of the day I asked James (my manager) if I could see it just to be on the safe side. Just as well I did. I was supposed to be working Fri morning and Saturday afternoon/evening. James said that I wouldnt be in again until next Thursday due to the cutback of hours (?) and that if anything changed then they would give me a phone call and let me know. So at this moment in time, if I do not get a phone call of any changes of shifts, then I will have only worked 9 hours this week, and 8 hours next week. I desperately need more money than that. I am entirely grateful for the fact that Im off on my birthday and have a v late start the next day, but I just dont understand why the hours have been cut so much. I dont understand if James meant that its everyone's hours that have been cut, or if when I stated to Nicola (store manager) that I needed a reduction on my 35 hours a week which they were giving me they just completely misunderstood me and made a drastic reduction....but then again I hardly think that would affect all other depts now would it? Brain is ticking over with far too many worrying thoughts.
So as the subject heading suggests, I really am wanting the hell out of that place and need to find somewhere else....but what with it being 13 December (jeez) chances of that are highly unlikely. But if anyone does hear anything, will they please let me know? I'll even buy them cookies.
