About how long would be considered normal to hear back from Telltale, if at all? Should I apply for more than one position? I actually don't know where exactly in San Rafael you folks are located, what region should I look for housing if hired?
I'd definitely work for Telltale, but there are some problems;
I know nothing about video game production
I can't draw nor animate. Well, I can, but badly.
I require payment bigger than other employees and a fancy company car with a hot tub in it.
I'd probably never show up to work anyway.
But if you can live with those conditions I'd be happy to do minimum work while eating all your food. From my own home, of course, so you're gonna have to send the food to me.
True... but we both know you wouldn't pick the other non-monetary payment (being a gamedeveloper... games!)
Wait, you made me realise...
Since I'd be working for them, which is already providing a service... If I was to pay for that... Does that mean I'd work for them and pay by working MORE?
...
More seriously, I can provide lots of other services! I can give them fun French facts, about either the language or the country! I've been told to give great massages! I can knit them stuff! I can compliment them! I can sing, and then stop singing, making everyone feel extremely relieved! I can... er...
Okay, I'm starting to run out of ideas, but I'm sure I could do lots of stuff. I could refill people's cups! I could refill the staplers (if they use any). I could make sure the calendars are at the right page. I could organise stuff alphabetically. I could, er...
You know, there aren't that many things that I like doing that would be useful to people, are there?
I'd like to point out that San Quentin actually has a gorgeous bay view, reasonable rents (in fact, you pay no money!), board is included, although the commute would be difficult.
The cemetery in my home town is like that - on a prime piece of land right beside the ocean. Every time I go past I can hear the anguished sobs of real estate developers.
The graveyard of my town has the same too. And some from here too. The one of my original town has a gorgeous view to the Aconcagua River, and the one from I'm here now has a gorgeous view to the Sea. And the Oil Plant which still works after the Earthquake. But still, it's a great view =P
My home town was really small village.... and the only thing it had was a grain mill, a bank, a drive in movie theater and a little stone castle on top of a hill..... The plus was that it was only 5 miles away from a proper city with plenty to do....
I wouldn't move just on the off-chance that you get hired if I were you. You might get Scott Peterson'd (I don't actually know who that is).
I'm not moving yet, I just like to taunt apartment renters and moving van companies. They tend to offer better deals if you fake holding out on them.
This concept can also be applied to funeral arrangements.
"I don't know about that price, I'm really only going to need it the one time. Can I rent it?"
God damn funeral directors. When I die, I want to be buried in a cardboard box so my family don't have to fork out loads of unnecessary money. It's not like I'll care or anything. Also, no matter what type of coffin you're buried in, it will eventually decompose along with your body. In fact, the more expensive ones which are designed to be airtight so they don't decompose will only crack open once your body is forced to explode because of all the pressure.
I'd like for my body to be re-used.
... No innuendo intended. Although honestly, I wouldn't mind about that either, I mean I'd be dead.
But I meant more like organ donation, being donated to science, or hell, even being eaten up by wild animals. Just being useful for something, and not just be a huge pile of waste, you know?
I wonder if I could arrange for my bones to be used for sculptures. I remember hearing about a woman who had her skin turned into a book cover or something. I wonder what human leather is like.
I know people get all grosses out by things like that, but I find much more offensive and disrespectful to let corpses just rot or to burn them and have them be forgotten, rather than honour them by doing something with them that helps others.

I agree. It's kind of a waste to bury a whole corpse when it still has a perfectly good liver that can save someone else's life.

Organ donation is one thing. Reusing skin and body parts for ordinary practical purposes is something else entirely.
-"Hey, I'd like you to meet my Aunt Susie."
-"Umm... that's a desk lamp made from bone or something."
-"Yeah. She was in a car accident last year... why are you looking at me like that?"
Actually the idea of having "skin turned into a book cover" makes me think of the Disney movie Hocus Pocus where the spell book the witches used was bound with human skin. Kinda creepy if you ask me.
I signed up to be an organ donor on my driver's license, but other than that I want to be cremated and scattered somewhere rather than buried. Having a grave that by law remains in perpituity sounds like a waste of space taken up FOREVER on the planet that could be used for other things when I'm dead and don't need my physical body anymore.
Not to mention the thousands of people who die every day. If everyone who died was buried in a marked grave in the ground, at some point you'd think we'd run out of room.
Do you still need a work visa to come down from Canada? I honestly don't know.
Yes, Canadians need work visas, although there is a special category of work visa available only to Canadians and Mexicans (courtesy of NAFTA) known as a TN visa. Only certain types of jobs qualify for TN visas; the list is here, and you still need a job offer from a US employer before applying for a TN visa at the border.

Hocus Pocus? Seriously? I would have gone with the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis from the Evil Dead movies, myself. Or even Lovecraft's "original" Necronomicon (though I don't think Lovecraft himself ever depicted it as bound in skin).
Seriously though, if the fictional versions freak you out, you really shouldn't click on this link about the real thing.

Remember you will be organic waste, like everyone else. That kind of waste always, but ALWAYS get recycled. If you know what I mean.
Anyway, I have my Donor Card here, but the Chilean donor law is so bad, the family STILL has the last word in that kind of moment. The only thing I can do now is keep repeating to my parents and the rest of my family I want all my organ donated and then do whathever they want do to with me. It's only fair in a way.
You are giving me hope. You are not supposed to do that. I think.
Anyway, I think I'll stick with the Green Card Lottery. I want to go to another Country to work anyway eventually. If it's there where you are guys, awesome, but I have the wild idea I'll finish in Australia if I tell that to my mom. I have family here.
Which remain me, maybe I can go to Australia this summer. Ok, you can keep talking about been hired here. Good luck with that.

Not really... I mean, if you look up how it works, they first fill your body with lots of crap to prevent it from rotting too fast, and then you're locked in a coffin that probably prevents most animal from getting to you, so in the end you're probably really going to waste as much as is possible. Probably not 100% but definitely a lot of it is just no reused very much.
I know people think reusing things are creepy, but I'd much rather say "look, this lamp was made from my aunt's bones" than "we threw my aunt in a big garbage can we call 'grave'" or "we burnt her up". It seems much more respectful to me, both to the person who died and to the whole planet.
You guys can be chairs if you want. I'm gonna get myself one of those frozen tubes. They're going to bring me back to life in the future and I'm going to have space adventures.
I've opted for the donor sticker on my license, and I'm going to look into becoming a full organ donor as well (turns out they're not the same thing exactly). If there's anything left, it'll get a Muslim burial, which means they'd wrap me in a sheet and stick me in the ground on top of the rest of the dead. No embalming or coffins or gravestones.
Comments

Your reputation doesn't help. :rolleyes:
The weird thing is, normally it does!
Of course, normally my goal is seducing people, not claiming I was talking about hugs.
My normal approach is useless here.
EDIT: Okay, okay, I confess. I was talking about households of the threefold variety.
But I do like sandwich hugs, too!
Man, news are slow if that's making the headlines.
(I can't stop the lies! I CAN'T STOP THEM!)
Sure. But remember it means paying by providing a service or non-monetary payment (food, item...), and that includes a LOT more things than sex.
Plus, I prefer not mixing work and play too much.
But if you can live with those conditions I'd be happy to do minimum work while eating all your food. From my own home, of course, so you're gonna have to send the food to me.

So, yeah, you're pretty useless...
Oh well. I doubt I'm allowed to work in the US anyways.
Attachment not found.
People are dying to get a piece of that view!

Btw, do you also hire European or just lifeforms from the USA?
Do you still need a work visa to come down from Canada? I honestly don't know.
I agree with this sentiment. It's one of my legal specialties.
Yes, Canadians need work visas, although there is a special category of work visa available only to Canadians and Mexicans (courtesy of NAFTA) known as a TN visa. Only certain types of jobs qualify for TN visas; the list is here, and you still need a job offer from a US employer before applying for a TN visa at the border.

How about European interns
