Bah. I have a cramp or something in my back. Sorta' mid/lower right side area. Are there any stretches or something I can do at work for relief?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mondo law firm wants professional references who are not former employers or relatives. "Invisible internet friends" count, right? Who wants to be my reference?

References who are not former employers?? Do they mean former coworkers? Vendors? I think invisible internet friends totally should count then.
In other work news, I hate when I email a question saying "I know that in this instance, X and Y, but what about Z?" and people respond saying "In instances like that, make sure of X" and i say "Yes, yes, X, but what about Z?" and then someone else responds "Well, you know in cases like that you have Y" and I'm all "GOT THAT, X and Y are COVERED, but Z????"

I guess. Husband suggested they're looking to avoid the whole issue of employers not really giving references due to liability issues. But my references are kind of thin on the ground anyway. Ack.

Well, it's one thing to say "just contact my former employers" and it's another to say "here is my exboss who agreed to be my reference". Weird.
OK, I just got a response on the XYZ thing...saying "Well, they shouldn't do that thing! Because it causes issues with XYZ!" And I"m like "RIGHT, I know we've said that, my point was, they already did, people already have, and because of that we have a procedure for X and Y, and I've done that, I jsut need to know what the procedure is for Z!!"
(Sorry, this is making me crazy)

Mossad agents who grab Nazi war criminals and spirit them out of another country--I saw a TV movie about the Eichmann case when I was around 12, and have been fascinated by the Mossad ever since.

Sounds like a question right off my Fitness and Character application for the NY Bar -- only then there was a stated preference for references not former employers or relative but who were attorneys.
In other words, of course invisible internet friends count.
