Back in Tokyo

February 2, 2005 – 9:13 pm

So here I am, back in Tokyo. It is both incredibly warm, and unexpectedly frustrating.

Warm, because my friends are helpful above and beyond the call of duty – one of my old colleagues is not only helping me out in the job hunt, she’s letting me stay at her place for a couple days plus park myself in her office during the day.

Frustrating, because I think I finally know what I want to do, and the job openings are either closed or I’m not qualified enough, on paper. Dammit, how can one make a career change if you don’t get a chance to prove yourself on skills? I guess experience always counts more.

Wanna get into the gaming industry. Well, all entertainment is interesting to me, but gaming is the only industry which isn’t caught in the conservative trap. They are growing, and there’s a revolution to be had.

Okay, back to writing resumes. Shit, it’s not easy. I’m starting to wonder if determination and patience and hardwork are enough to land a job, or will I have to pray for divine intervention too?
