And then either there's not enough cake for everyone, or there's plenty of cake and everyone just gets one piece and there's, like, half a cake left and no one wants it... And you have to give it to people from other sectors or other places... And when it's the boss or something like it, they all want 5 bucks to buy something to him he'll hate, like a tie or an leather cover agenda. And they always do this when you're busy, but when I have nothing to do it never happens... this one day there was half a cake left, and I took home because no one wanted it, and I didn't want to eat it, so it stayed in the fridge for like, a week or something...
LOL we should have a thread for this office insanities...

WOW...Ric, you're scaring me!
Actually, I will say that the cake was outstanding. They get them from a bakery in the city that you need to setup an appointment just buy a standard birthday cake from. Really great stuff, and big so there was plenty. However, the entire thing was embarassing for me.
