I love my kids (students that is - I am in no way a parent), I'm OK with where I'm living, and my apartment is amazingly awesome.
But I went ahead and applied to a job working on English scripts at a major video game company in Shinjuku. I don't know what I'll do if I get the job (though I don't think I will), but I doubt I could pass up the chance go work at a game company, at least for a year.
Anyway, I am (it appears to me anyway) well qualified for the job. Japanese language a plus, a few years of job experience, some work in writing and creative writing. I'm neither Japanese nor "American" (in the Japanese sense of the idea), so that's against me, but I am "American," in the actual sense of the idea so that might help me (along with my already having a visa).
I mailed the application yesterday, so it should get to Tokyo by Friday or Saturday at the latest.
Like I said, serious doubts about getting the job (especially with one of the grad school rejections I got via e-mail a few days ago - the University of Virginia Law school can suck it), but part of me can't help but be a little excited
