OK, I need your help there.

I've had this dream for years ... since I get my diploma of Software Engineer, in fact. You see, I've played many computer games, some of them were good, very good, even excellent, but I place the Ultima series waaaay above any game ever.

This dream o'mine is : I wanna work in Richard Garriott's company !

Yeah, I know. Back at the Origin times, I never applied. You see, many people see us Frenchies as people that, when there is something to dare, very often see so clearly the many ways it may, will go wrong, that they don't dare give it a try. Dunno if it's true, but for that matter I'm sooo French !

OK then. I know the man is drowned under resumes of so many clever skilled people, who BTW live much closer to the US than I do. I know that my chances are about the size of a pin hidden in a haystack. Hence I never did anything ...

Then Origin was bought by Electronic Arts. Then things started to go wrong at Origin. Then Richard Garriott left Origin and said he had retired ... At this point, I thought, damn, now, I have not even a small chance this may happen ...

Now I just found on Internet that the guy has founded a new company, called "Destination Games". That he had kept low for a year, as he had to by contract. That he's very much back in the game !

So, what the hell, I wanna apply now. Hey, if I don't, I lose, right ?

Now, I don't know really know from where to start. First I would like a kind US person to help me put my resume in US shape. Please ?

And I'll take any suggestion that might make my pin a little bigger, shinier, pinker ! Please ?

And if someone living near Austin in Texas would be so kind as to go have a look and maybe give me some contact, an address, anything, I would love him/her until the end of times !

Don't tell me I'm crazy and mad and insane, I know that ...
