“Uh huh, art history.”

“English lit, with a minor in sociology, graduated summa. Always knew somebody had to clean out the toilets of the world,” Moira said, slapping the mop on down on the tile. “Just didn’t think it’d be me.”

Have you thought of paraphrasing Camus' The Plague in a six as a companion piece? This boiled down Atlas (Gave a Nod to Business' Messier Side) was tastier than two pages of Rand's tome, which I never could get through completely, no matter how often I tried. Well, maybe tasty's not quite the word, what with the mention of all those things they had to clean up...Damn fine, is perhaps more apt.
