All right. I still think all of you are a bit crazy, but it's obvious that something is happening. Where would I go to talk with a 'Dreamseer'?

Also, does anyone know of a good place that would hire a Chinese immigrant with an accent? My current job is...not going to work out in the long term. My English is good, and I've

[Chicago, sure]

Hey, if we're crazy, join the club.

Where're you working that they don't want you there with a Chinese accent? That's pretty stupid, if you ask me.

[lightningwings]

I wasn't given much choice.

My accent isn't the problem here, but it seems to be hindering me a bit when I ask around to other places.

[Perma-filter/language, I am LAZY]

Hey, you could have always lived with the constant invitations.

Sounds like you're asking the wrong questions or the wrong people. What kind of job're you looking for?

[lightningwings]

At the time, I thought I'd join just long enough to tell them to stop.

Pretty much anything; I've only got a year or so of college, but I'm willing to work hard.

[maxwellian]

Yeaaah right.

With that kind of attitude, I'm surprised you're not delivering pizza. What do you want to do, huh?

[lightningwings]

...I'm not sure anymore. I thought about being a journalist, once; that's why I was in college.

[maxwellian]

You can't get in trouble for an accent if you're writing, you know. You could always try out the papers? Or just look for a random magazine, I hear they're in and out of writers all the time. I could probably hook you up with something at my uni, but I doubt you want that kind of thing.

[lightningwings]

Why not? Anything would be better than a teriyaki place where the boss hates me, and knowing someone connected always helps in getting a job. Once I get started, I can work my way up...

[maxwellian]

Hey, if you want to work for a paper that's put out by a tech college, more power to you, man. I'm just saying, some people would call that lowering their expectations.

Lemme tell you what, though. I know this girl who's looking in to trying the journalist thing herself? I'll see if she knows anybody with an opening. She's kind of... stuffy, so I have a feeling she's passing up a lot of worthwhile positions.

[lightningwings]

I appreciate it, thank you.

[maxwellian]

Oh, hey, wait a sec! Who should I say I'm asking for? I mean, in case they care.

Name's Duo Maxwell, just so I don't seem like some stalker internet guy -- not that coming from this place helps my reputation at all.

[lightningwings]

My name is Yuan Inuhara.

[maxwellian]

Right. Yuan. I'll be in touch!

[lightningwings]

Again, thank you.
