I have had a really bad day first at work I got a warning, only been there 3 months and have been given a 20 mins verbal brutal telling off and the boss is going to tell head office, I gave the wrong prescription to the wrong woman the wrong medicines to the wrong address, she came she took she rang she complained, I GOT it for what seemed like ever, I have messed up big time, undoubtedly something so immensely monumentally a no no when you work in a chemist and so for 20 mins the boss did not want to hear what I had to say about it, he just went on that if I thought I was a genuis I needed to work elsewhere, if I thought I was above the strict rules they work under he was sure head office would love to know and send me on my way, if I thought I knew better on how to use the till etc then I was in the wrong job, if I thought I was too clever etc, my sis says the way he spoke to me was rude and he never let me get in a word in to say what I thought had happened, he was very aggresive and blunt and rude but then agai nwhat I did was well out of order and so he is not going to let it lie he is going to let head office know....

The second is I finally got to go to boots and get weighed and now it is worse than expected, I was 2lb over the weight xmas eve but that went to 4lb then another 8lb now so it is 12lb over, so there you go 12lb one stone on basically, amazing

Victory have a big hug (((((((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))

We all make mistakes and I do appreciate that your mistake was a 'no no' - but you are human after all.

Your boss certainly should not have reprimanded you in such a fashion - he is probably a bit defensive because after all, your mistake = his mistake - that's what comes with being a boss.

He may be covering his backside by reporting you to head office, perhaps that is the procedure - incase of adverse publicity???

If you feel that you would like to put your side to him - explanation, apology..... how about a letter?

I remember when you first got this job, it was a real boost, so hang on in there - hopefully it will blow over.

On the weight increase, you've tackled this before and can tackle it again - all the Christmas treats are now gone, so again, hang on in there.

Try not to get too 'down' about today - easier said than done I know.

Thank you very much:D you are right ffm my boss is probably worried that I am bringing lloyds pharmacy down, he did say that it is his name over the door and I have left it open wide for all sorts of backlash and that he has a responsibility to make sure his chemist is squeaky clean and that what I have done is worse than taking £50 out of the till etc, the thing is the supervisor is on her hols in malta at the mo, when she gets back she said she was happy with my work and would start training me up as a hca (health care worker) rather than what I am now which is a sales assistant, which comes with more responsibility, no more money but more hands on with the meds, the customers, weighing them, blood pressure, advice etc, so the supervisor will now have to be told that while she is away I got a warning, will she now even think I am worth her time and effort to train me? I mean 2 more and I am out...

As for the weight yes I know, just somewhat frustrated that yet again gain, yet again back on the diet plan, yet again blah blah blah:rotfl: oh how I wish I was slim and permanently so without all this...:rolleyes: I keep thinking how can 1 week equal 12lb and to loose on an average of 2lb that will be 6 weeks which will be the mid of feb, valentines day, 1 week equals a month and a half of pure torture, moan and groan:rolleyes:

Victory - what a horrid day. Ok, a bit if a biggie mistake from chemist point of view, but, and this is a big but, the chap sounded aggressive and rude they way you are telling it and I'm certainly not comfortable with the way he appears to have spoken to you.
If your relationship is good with the on hols supervisor, I'm not sure that this will put her off the training.
Do you know how the mistake happened so you can say it can't happen again?
Poor you. I would take that sort of thing hard. But you knw what - my pharmacy makes mistakes too - just before xmas in fact and i had to ring up. But if course I stressed how super their service was generally and I was merely telling them becasue they needed to know.
As for the weight - do your clothes tell you you have put on that much?
Don't panic - by end of Jan you'll have cracked it again.

Victory I think I know what your answer is going to be, but if losing at 2lb/week is 'pure torture' what about going for a slower, more manageable loss? There's also every chance that not all of that 12lb is 'real' gain, after a week or two back on your normal eating pattern you'll probably see things settle down a bit - fingers crossed.

FFM well done for noticing what was happening and knowing what to do to nip it in the bud! Hope we'll see you back on the exercise/fitness thread soon as well (Might be talking new bikes soon )

Thank you missy my mind is a strange place, it sees that if 2lb a week takes 6 weeks of not being able to be a normal eating person then would not want to extend it to 1lb a week loss which is 12 weeks which will take me to March:rolleyes: I agree with you it cannot be a proper gain as in the fat remains there because as quick as it went on eating right again it will come off, last year it was 5lb and that went pretty much within 10 days so hoping at least some of it shifts naturally quickly by eating to plan again... also I always worry that a slow weight loss rather than me being ridgly strict with myself, portions, etc actually feeling like you are on a diet, depriving yourself as it were will not loose me any weight, so I go all guns ho, all or nothing, back to WW, watching all the t.v shows, coming on here, trying on my black trousers, wherever I can get the motivation to go back on it I find it, read alll the diet books again, it is just me, I tend to stick to what I know works, the same as meals, or foods in general, if it keeps me full or worked before I tend to stick to around about the same things, it is just knowing that it made the loss last time, change is good thing but I tend to stick with what is not broken don't fix it kind of line of thinking:D

bb thank you, he had a right to speak out but it is the way it comes across and he came across as firstly beside himself with anger that I could bring his chemist into disripute, second that someone i.e me could be so stupid and do such a no no mistake bringing his reputation down, his chemist down and everything he has worked for down around him, like ffm said he was and is trying to cover himself, I did it, I should and was told off for a great length of time, he will not let it lie because he sees it as a great offence and it is, there is no denying it is a terrible thing I did, OH says on Monday my next shift to go over it step by step with the boss and see how it happened, the whole A-Z of it as today the boss all he could see was it was me and would not let me speak, on Monday it will be a lot calmer and easier to find out exactly how I could have messed up so badly.
Yes, well one pair of trousers has a great deal of trouble getting done up:rotfl:on the whole the others are relatively fine but this pair OMG:eek: so which pair do I wear? That pair, it reminds me of last week when I was so slim then and so large now:rotfl::rotfl: I already have dates in mind starting 4th jan as coincidentally I did 2 years ago to the day I started this weight loss by the following wednesday 13th Jan (the wednesday weigh in two days later will have no impact) I am already hoping for a loss and on my mind goes:rotfl:

Hugs Victory - the best thing you can do is show that you're willing to listen and learn where things went wrong and how can you improve things.

Try to be strong - I hate bad days at work and have had many nights lying awake physically shaking after a bad day at work with a couple of the jobs I had. The next day was never as bad as I feared, and I became stronger over time - thankfully I'm now in a job which I love and with supportive managers - and even though I've made major major errors (hell if I'm going to make one I make it a biggie ) no one has bailed me out - and often I hold my hands up to the managers rather than covering things up or blaming other people.

There was no way of covering this one up, I did it:D my supervisor likes the sucking up, your the boss I do as I say etc had one like her previously and her name was the same as this one, she likes her ego rubbed as for the boss who told me off he needs to let people say their side so tomorrow am going in all meek and mild and willing to 'learn' from the master that should do it:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
