when you walk through a female-dominated office building, with a giant 1/4 slab cake box in hand, everyone wants to be your friend. and everyone wants to make a comment.
"Having a party?"
"Someone’s birthday?"
"Ooh…save me a piece!"
"what time are you serving that?"
but today, as i walked through the halls with the cake box, as i do every month before our monthly department birthday party, obviously today’s is for the September birthdays, i got the most bizarre response EVER. (more bizarre than when someone said to me…"cake?" um…what exactly DID you think i had in that cake box, sir??)
get this.
"oh! i hope you drop that cake!"
what what what?
and she said it all excited-like. like she was really hoping i’d drop it because wouldn’t that be a laugh.
what?
again. what?

you should tell that beyatch that she is lucky that you have a monthly birthday party with cake! I’ve been here for almost 14 years, and never ever got a cake at work. Some people have, but I am not in ‘those’ departments *sigh* .. my boss does not do cakes..:(

That’s bizarre…it’s not even a line from The Office or something crazy like that..I used to work with someone who went crazy for office snacks (although oddly enough never baked or brought anything in herself)…it got to the point where my colleague and I would rustle candy wrappers in our office, hear her come running and then hide them so she’d think she was going crazy. She was a dietician. Go figure.
