Malazan Empire: Lady Bliss - Viewing Profile - Malazan Empire

Applied for a job that I thought I would be really good for (outside the police but within the justice system) they didn't even give me an interview. There's a bit of culture on the Isle of Man of having someone for the job and basically they legally have to advertise it but no-one else gets a look in. The civil service and government departments are a bit of an old boys club in that if you're in and know the right people you're much more likely to get where you want to go.

I'm essentially an outsider, having only moved here a year ago.

I'm a bit fed up with my current job and the hours are killing me and the nature of the job itself is messing with my mental health. With the twins coming as well I really want one with more accessible hours but it's just not happening.

The problem is I'm now at a point where I'm getting paid quite well so I can't exactly start at the bottom somewhere as it would effect my mortgage etc. So I'm stuck in a job I'm coming to hate and is making me miserable but pays me well and I can't see a way out.

Sorry, needed to vent. I love living here, my son is utterly thriving, my wife and I have settled well and have some wonderful friends nearby and outside of my job, everything is going really well! I'm just always too tired and worn down to fully appreciate it...
