Aw, I liked the kitten stories.

Clocking out for the day has rarely felt as good as it did today.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh taskrabbit is an interesting idea. I can't drive a truck, but I can pay for one and help move the table. I will figure this out! Being a grownup is hard.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Lee, late, but I'd board Charlie if I were you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"Cleopatra was white, so all ancient Egyptians and their gods were white, as far as I was told by the black girl I worked with."
Cleopatra was a Ptolemy, and therefore of Macedonian descent. She doesn't really provide a point from which to extrapolate to the Egyptian populace.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I think the interview went well. Now to wait for a follow-up from the HR person about if they want to bring me in for an interview loop.
One of the amusing things about the PNW tech industry: the chances are good you will end up talking to someone who also worked at Enormous Tech Company, and you will have common ground talking about frustrating situations.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

(Please keep the accent).
She doesn't really provide a point from which to extrapolate to the Egyptian populace.
You try and explain it to the person who doesn't care who brought it up who keeps arguing with me and explaining that Egyptian art is non-representational and therefore they could all still be white (don't google fifth dynasty sculpture if you want to stay on her side). She then posted this [link] which cracks me up for two reasons--I swear the guy on the left is a brother, and...my name is right there in the middle!

Weren't (many of) the Egyptian gods anthropomorphic animals?
