They order cake at my job every month. It's arrival in the afternoon is always announced over the p.a.by one of the senior editors who says it in this funny voice that makes everyone laugh.

Half of the office rises from their desk, walks down the hallway, and sings happy birthday, usually to the cake itself apparently since any birthday members with their name on the cake wouldn't be caught dead in front of that crowd. Then the cake is cut apart and segmented on to paper plates.

I usually get up from my desk about 20 minutes after the announcement is made and get my piece. Unlike in Office Space, it doesn't get eaten fast, so there's always plenty left. Last time, I went straight for the middle edge where the chocolate meets the vanilla part and got a flower in the process. Hey, it was my birthday after all and someone had already eaten my name.

why do people hate cake

A Skanger Barkley (nakhchivan), Friday, 29 November 2013 19:20 (ten years ago) link

true story my parents arranged an incredible TMNT themed party for my 10th or 11th birthday which included a family friend coming to the door dressed as a pizza delivery guy and handing me a pizza box that when opened revealed a cake decorated to look like a pizza

This cake conversation is a good reminder that ilx is full of really smart ppl who are determined to be unhappy

I worked at DQ, making the cakes was kinda satisfying

fighting against ice cream cakes when people from the upper midwest are active on the board seems a losing battle
