Second Sunday at work in large chain of pharmacy.
Still things I am SO ignorant about, but handled the hours better.
Think I'm doing okay.
£25 to come, so it's all good...

Disappointed at the lack of training/ help though.

Last week I was told when to go on my break (although not for how long - I used common sense and asked of course)
Today I caused problems - so I overheard - for not taking my break at the scheduled time. I should have checked the timesheet. WTF? I didn't even see the timesheet last week, how could I know such a thing existed?

It's minor.
I cringed because I hate feeling ignorant and/ or being thought of as stupid (or a troublemaker).
But there have been a few little incidents like that. They forget I had one hour till training (on a training system!) and have been left to work the rest out myself, in a busy store, where there are constant queues and lots of unusual questions come up.

Shall I sign up for evening shifts which would bring in welcome money?
I think I should. I'm not that delicate a flower after all, and more time at work might bring more issues but experience brings knowledge and more work brings more MONEY!

Will check with my SIL tomorrow about signing up for extra shifts.
It might only be staff already rota'd can work additional hours.
