Nintendo?

I started laughing as I applied to this job. I think I just did it, but I'm not sure; it seems so goofy. You should see how my cover letter connects my literay passions to the "infinite creative possibilities of the gaming world." Chris would kill me if got paid write and edit video scripts, manuals, and actually play them. Look at the third bullet on the list.

Dude, if you start working at Nintendo maybe you could spearhead the development of "Bartleby the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street." Up up B = "I'd prefer not to." Down down A = "I'd prefer not to." Left down A B = "I'd prefer not to."
