This is a 3,200 year old attendance sheet from Ancient Egypt. The limestone ostracon covers 280 days of the year with a list of 40 different names and dates written in black. The notes in red are the reasons for being absent, which include the following:

1. Drinking with Khonsu
2. His daughter was bleeding
3. Libating to his father
4. Brewing beer
5. Building his house
6. Fetching stone for the scribe
7. With Khons making remedies
8. Making remedies for the scribe's wife
9. Suffering with his eye
10. Embalming Hormose
11. Strengthening the door
12. Embalming his brother
13. His wife is bleeding
14. The scorpion bit him
15. His feast
16. Offering to the god

The one that stood out to me the most was "drinking with Khonsu", which doesn't seem to be as eye-catching as some of the others ones that involve embalming, bleeding, offering, making remedies, and getting bit by a scorpion. I guess it stood out to me because it seemed so mundane in that I never thought about Ancient Egyptians having a beer with each other and just hanging out.

I know we all tend to gravitate towards the pyramids, pharaohs, mummies and the overall mysterious grandeur of Ancient Egypt, but I've been more fascinated about what regular life was like back then. People just going about their business, working, socializing, cooking dinner, etc.

Who was this Khonsu guy anyway? What was his job? Did he have a job? Was Khons short for Khonsu? Were they the same person?

This attendance sheet was probably just boring bureaucratic paperwork back then, but quite delightful to read 3,200 years later. I find comfort in the fact that humans haven't changed much and grabbing a drink with a buddy was a legit excuse to miss work back then. I do wonder if all these excuses were true or if some were made up to conceal the real reasons. I guess we'll never know…

Despite the war, Ukraine keeps feeding the world.

In this effort, you can count on the EU.

We continue enhancing our Solidarity Lanes and will provide €50 million to repair your port infrastructure.

Together we ship Ukrainian grain to the world.

Den danske regering har simpelthen lige søgt EU om at få lov til at fortsætte med at hælde ekstra meget kvælstof på markerne, selvom vi oplever historisk voldsomt iltsvind og vi bør gå den stik modsatte vej 🤯. Dette er simpelthen absurd #dkpol #dkgreen https://t.co/gcAa0iAUVJ

Jeg troede faktisk vi var holdt op med at betale aconto for vores forbrug af vand og varme, når vi ER gået over til at betale faktisk forbrug på el. Der ER jo målere på til fjernaflæsning ...

Erik Fosnes Hansen's "Salme ved rejsens afslutning" er underlig aktuel igen. Man ser det for sig, hvordan vi glade køber nye #elektriskebiler og vælger #bæredygtige PRODUKTER, og fuldstændig ignorerer #overproduktion og at vi bare er for mange til de få #ressourcer. #dkmedier

Our Oceans 🌊 hit the 🔴 button.

Just recorded the hottest average daily sea surface temperature.

Warmer seas absorb less carbon dioxide & accelerate ice melting.

Our lives depend on this delicate balance.

With a narrow window to act, #EUGreenDeal deploys the actions we need.

Looking back on 2022, you could easily think that everything is awful: vicious political leaders committing atrocities and abuses left, right and center.

But the year was not 100% terrible.

There were some bright spots.
