anyone else working and over it.

edited February 2011 in Pregnant
Just wondering if Im the only one out there who is just completely over work while being preggas. I currently work at a telecommunications store 'Telstra' dealing with around 50-150 customers a day. Majority of them pissed off with billing issues or just out for an argument. The other half I have to talk into gettin plans and sinner that they eoo't need. I'm on my feet from 8.30-5.30 with one half hour break for lunch (which is not at an allocated time, so could b anywhere between 12-3pm) my manager is a year older than me an has no idea about pregnancy hormones or nausea , or the need to eat, he will leave for lunch b4 anyone else gets too . And then wonders why I'm starting to get short tempered an moody at 2o'clock when I haven't had a chance to scratch myself an I'm starving . I know I'm having a sook but its like they don't care an have no respect for how I'm feeling. I'm so tired all the time. And really am quite over it at the moment. Is anyone goin through anything like this ?

  • I work the same shift you do, but I have got it quite a lot easier. All of my coworkers are women, and most have had at least one child, including my bosses. They are very understanding and flexible when my nausea was really bad, doctor's appointments, and the extreme hunger. As long as there is coverage, they work with me.

    However, I work in child care. So I am frequently sitting on the floor and getting back up, fighting my temper flares, and trying not to throw up when we hunt down a poopy diaper.

    I feel bad for almost murdering these kids, but I told him 4 fucking times to stop playing with the gate and he stood there staring and smiling at me. And if that little boy wears Crocs again tomorrow, I might shove them down her mother's throat. He doesn't keep them on and I hate searching for them all day! I hate holding them because I'm so bloated it feels like I'm going to... explode, poop, or throw up.

    I'm the art teacher for the toddlers and I used to be your stereo typical little happy, lovie, gentle, and patient art teacher. Now? I would rather just do the damn craft for the little bastards than have to sit there watching them not give a fuck.

    And I am always done by nap time, exhausted. I need nap time, too.
  • Yes I know exactly howyou feel I'm do over my job. I work at a bank and I'm just tired of all the dumb customers and they all smell it just makes me sick everyday going in there

  • I am so over my job also I work in a casino here in Las Vegas so I deal with milliona of guests lately I have had no tolerance with them and their rudeness and get upset with the easily and yes I have to stand 8 hours but everybody knows me and let's me take a couple of rests here and there so I shouldn't complain but after baby is born no more work for me :)
  • I feel like quiting. My job is jus too stessful, I have rude customers that come in, I have to climb ladders to top stock things, ughh its jus too much n im only 8 weeks
  • I work in customer service for a phone company...which normally im quite good at. I'm patient, and knowledgeable about my job. However, if one more person comes in screaming at me that their cell phone is broken, when all i have to do to fix the damn thing is TURN IT ON, I might end up chucking the phone at their head.
    Not to mention my coworker, who's so jealous about the attention I receive that she does anything she can to piss me off, from telling me that I'll be a horrible mother to a girl, because I'm not "patient" (bull$h!t), to telling me the name i picked out is "disgusting"
    I can't WAIT to go on mat leave, but can't for a few more months. =(
  • So good to hear I'm not alone ,but I do feel for you all so much , it sucks big time. Lol at jwigs! Bout the crocks ! Mum4firsttime I no exactly what you mean peoples body oddor nearly makes me sick and bad breath omg yuk !! NatashaLynn I have a co worker who is also jealous of the attention and now keeps constantly taking time off yet is as happy as Larry when I read her status on facebook, you will b a great mum fuck her! Hope we can all get through this I'm giving myself 5 months then I'm outty I don't want to miss out on my maternity leave either ! Luv ya all thanks for the support and if anyone needs to vent I'm here xxx xxx xxx
  • When I was preg with my first I was huge at 9mo and still doing circles around this other guy bc he was a flake so when I did sit down my supervisor says chrissy why don't u sit in the recliner and put ur feet up they r huge, frank won't mind so here he comes yes I mind its not my fault she's pregnant. Ya know if I could have boiled hi. From the inside out I would have lol
  • Lol you go girl!! I commend you on being able to work so far along :)
    Any tips on how to get through it?
  • I'm 24wks and still workin with no problem. Just remember..the more active u are during pregnancy, the easier labor will be :)
  • Telstra are evil like that. I'd see if you can switch to a desk job at a call center maybe?
  • That's a good idea but I work at a privately owned store , and in a country town not in the city . It's not goin too bad , I was just in a really bad mood yesterday . today for example went really good and that was due to me being in a really happy mood. Also I'm in charge at the moment as the boss is on holidays, so I'm liking it :)
  • Lol jwigs let me know where you work so I don't send my baby there ;)
  • I work,go to school 12 hrs a week not including all the homework...and make time for myself & boyfriend ....its annoying.

  • I'm a supervisor for a group home for autistic kids 6 to 17 I get extremly frustrated cause some of the kids do things u kno they kno better about but they just think ull clean it up cause hey they r autistic and can't help it......bullshit I kno the kids that do it on accident and the ones that do it on purpose not to mention the fact that these kids can easily hurt me at any time since working there I got head butted where I had minor brain bruising and my tooth was chipped and I've been bitten god knows how many times....scratched punched and peed on oh yea I lost a toenail cause a client smashed my foot......luckily I've been safe through this pregnancy and made my staff take the hard clients but one of my staff have actually said when r u gonna pop that baby out so u can help.....I flipped...I do the schedule deal with parents and clinicians and state workers and not to mention the bullshit of my staff who hate eachother on day then love eachother the next I'm pulling more than my weight so he can go fuck himself
  • Don't get me wrong my job is rewarding in many ways and I love the kids but its risky and staff piss me off
  • Just got the official test and informed my bosses of the pregnancy. They are already trying to get me to promise to return from maternity leave. This girl I work with has been trying to get me fired for months and won't keep my name out of her mouth. And its really hard not to let her know how I feel. I work 40 hrs a week. Take college classes at night (also full time) and find time for the man and me.
  • I work at a family clinic ( on a military base) and yeah im feeling the urge to snap at my supervisors, sometimes paitents and everyone else that gets on my nerves.I like my job and Im usually pretty patient but I think just lack of sleep and lugging around this baby is wearing me thin.
  • I wish I. Was still working mu job fired me for being pregnant.. blah stupid now I gotta go to court but ugh I don't even wanna work there if that's how they treat people..
  • I can't wait to have this baby so I can go to work and enjoy myself...I work on cars and there's really not a whole lot I can do while I'm pregnant...I can't wait to get my hands back in the motor of a car.
