What a sh*tty day

Tension aplenty at work. Seems 3 colleagues were caught misusing a staff discount card. One of them was the team leader. All have been dismissed. Has made it very stressful in the department. On top of that there has been no official word on what happened so speculation mounts by everyone, a lot of it incorrect. Word is there is a 'dobber' who dobbed these people in. Some of my colleagues have decided that as I am such an honest person it had to be me. One person in particular who has a personality clash with me just ignored me all shift. At the end of the shift I asked someone what was up with this other person. I was told that it was a personality clash plus everyone thought I was the dobber. Fortunately the store had closed and I was closing registers as I just dissolved into tears. One of the managers caught me and was very reassuring and then got one of the senior managers to come and give me a hug and assure me that all the management team thought I was great. I suppose the harsh reality is that if I found colleagues doing the wrong thing I probably would be a whistle blower. I was told that the best skill I can learn is that my job is just that, a job and that at the end of the day I have to walk out the door and forget about it.

Then another bittersweet- my single parent pension was approved today. With the kids away I feel pretty lonely. I just miss snuggling with someone and 'downloading' my day.
