There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Mondo law firm wants professional references who are not former employers or relatives

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

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

Many times they mean people in the industry who you may or may not have worked with. Like if someone from the housing authority or the bank gave me a reference. My $.02 anyway.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

But one of my personal goals is to interact with people as little as possible. This isn't conducive to getting references.

I just googled and e-mailed a former coworker. Hopefully she'll come through.

AUGH. Tiny in the cubicle next door just used "office" as a verb. I want to stuff his mouth full of TPS reports.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hey Dana - you could take advantage of my new, yet highly overinflated title and I could be a reference for you.

Ooh. What's your new title? And tell me two highly complimentary things you'd say about me. They don't have to be true.

CFO. Not kidding. As my friend Michelle said after laughing hysterically for about 5 minutes, "Who the fuck made YOU a Chief Financial Officer? You don't even do your OWN finances!" But hey - it's my official title and I may as well use it for good.

And tell me two highly complimentary things you'd say about me.

"I have interected daily with Dana for approximately five years. In that time she has proven to be nothing short of professional and exceedingly articulate. Dana frequently goes above and beyond the call of duty in ensuring that all parties she works with are satisfied with her work."

By which I mean, "Dana writing the good porn. All likey."
