“"The day everything changes, I spend my lunch in the break room with Gremory. There are many rooms in my Father’s house, but only one with a functioning coffee machine."
As a call center worker, I enjoyed this story perhaps a little too well but Penny masterfully captured the emotional toll and absolute drudgery that working a call center can be. To see queues were hell- pun intended- and facilities weren't perfect even in Heaven was cathartic in a way that really made me empathize with the angel telling the story and hooked me to find out how they dealt with a job that sucks so much at times. And Grem is that one co-worker we all have that keeps things light and puts things into perspective and the fact that he's a demon just made the whole character for me... plus he's got excellent taste in music for catching Mastodon in Brixton, a band that is quite frankly dope live. And to delve into the angel's various romances and the effect that had on them gave the story a tint of realism that really made the whole tale pop.
How terrible it was for this angel to love something that death could touch... but thank their Manager for friends like Grem, am I right?”
