It's my life - a diary in remembrance of Felix

It is very unusual for me to do entries. The first one was specially for Felix though. This entry is more about me.

I went into work on reduced hours like arranged. After my first day in work I hardly slept that night because I was so stressed. My asthma was really bad and I was up in the night using my nebuliser. On the first day when I went to balance my till I was £2700 short. I panicked, thinking I could never have given somebody that much money too much, there was no way. I knew it had to be something I had done wrong, maybe missed swiping a cheque or something. I found the error in the end, I had put down that I had £300 of £20 notes and I had £3000 in the safe. Was I relieved? Not one person offered to help me find the mistake though and I was really stressed. On the second day I was in I asked for Sat 26th May off as I am going to a party in Colchester. I was told it was my Saturday to work. I pointed out that I was in fact working the two previous Saturdays. It was then pointed out that I had not done Saturdays for a while. I couldn't believe they were making me pay for not doing Saturdays when I was off sick. I told them I thought it was unfair and left it at that. I knew at that moment, I was not happy in my job and as soon as the manager came in I would be handing my notice in. I am taking it in today and have got a sick note from my GP to cover my notice so I dont have to go back again.

I have been told I am suitable for a post room job with the MOD but I dont really want that job. I have also applied for an ambulance practitioners post and have recently applied for a security job at Heathrow Airport. I dont fancy the travelling but anything has to better than the bank.

I an doing well with sponsors for my Race For Life. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to anybody that has sponsored me. It is for a good cause and if anybody else would like to sponsor, please click on the link above and do so, even the smallest amount makes a difference. Thank you.

Jules xx

  You are better off out of that bank Jules.If I worked there I would think it so unfair that you have to make up your sick leave in Saturdays.Its a long day at work and too short a life to put up with all that stress. . .something will turn up for you. . everything will turnaround and you will look back on all of this.

  Jeez I hope they don't call themselves team players at the bank.  If anybody in my place makes a mistake everyone rallies round to help them.  I hope you manage to find something else xx

  I can imagine the worry you had over the error Jules, easy to do when you've just returned back to work.  Not nice of them at all not offering to help you.
  
  I hope you find something that's your niche. Rache

  I am glad you don't have to go back there Jules, you'd think they would be more understanding.  Luck to you with the other positions you've applied for m'dear.
