I really like it when a birthday happens at work because there's usually cake. Sometimes I work at my desk right through lunch, but if I know there's going to be cake, I'm down in the faculty room pretty much before anyone else.
The best, though, is the surprise birthday lunch.
The other day I went to the lunchroom just to get away from all the work I was trying to do. I walked in, spotted an open seat at the long table, and... noticed a giant round cake in the center of it all.
Cake!
It was someone's birthday and a woman with whom I work brought in cake. It was vanilla cake with tons of sugary-sweet frosting, and it had small chocolate mint patties on top.
It ... was .... awesome!
I wish someone at work had a birthday once a week ... heck, every single day. (That would require much more staff, but still.) That way I could have cake every single work day. What on earth could be better than cake every single day? I know, right?
Cake -- it's not just for breakfast anymore.
Happy birthday, everybody because I really do love cake.
