Gott Mit Uns

When people, like at a party, ask me what I do and I tell them, they look at me and say, 'So, you are a lawyer.' I hem and haw and say no not really. Then they take another shot and say, 'So you are an angel.' And I say, no, I am definitely not one of those. Truthfully, I am sort of a cross between the two.My name is Frank Neeregem, and I am InterDeitific Conflict Resolution Agent (IDCRA). What did I look like? Well in my mind I am a cross between Omar Sharif and George Clooney, with perhaps a bit less hair. My more charitable friends describe me as Stanley Tucci with a bit more hair. For reality, think of a swarthy Fred Murtz from I Love Lucy and you won't be too far off. What is an IDCRA you ask?We are the guys who administer the rules when people with different gods pray on the same event and ask for different resultsBy and large the system works well.Then it is boring and good.Other times things go wrong. Like when a Paleolithic Antarctic Goddess is inadvertently summoned to your world because of a mistake caused by two different types of requests being printed on the same color paper. And then a new supervisor introduces untested technology using me as the guinea pig. And the Paleolithic Antarctic Goddess manifests herself in your world as an eight and half foot tall penguin.Then it gets exciting.And I am a bureaucrat. I hate exciting.
