Office politics: what's your take on this?

Recommended Posts

Today is Treat Day. Treat Day is a marvellous day where people bring in food.

Today, someone brought in a cake. It was a very pretty cake. It looked like it belonged in some cake decorating contest or something. It was all fancy, and it looked yummy! Everyone kept walking around the cake...afraid of it....like it would bite. Nobody wanted to cut the cake.

I'm hungry. I like sugar and fat. I walked up to the cake and cut myself a piece. About 3 minutes later, a lady walks in exclaiming, "Oh no!!! Who cut the cake??? It wasn't supposed to be cut yet!!!" I said that I cut the cake because it's on the food table. Food is meant for eating.

Was I inconsiderate to the cake's feelings? Did it want to sit and look pretty or be eaten?

My take...there fault for leaving it out with no instructions..like a note saying "dont cut me yet"

However since said cake has been cut, you should meet me at the river in 10 min with a piece!!!

mmm Cake! :ph34r:

If it is on the table and not supposed to be cut there best be someone gaurding it!


Either that or some sign or a notice to anyone that works in that area that its getting cut at X:XX time, etc



Cake: CUT ME
me: mmmmmmm, yummy

I agree with Sunny....what was the lady waiting for a papal edict or something? If she didn't want it "cut yet" she can keep it away or put a note on it. It's not like you can read minds or something. Was it good though? That's the real question.:)

An update: the cake tastes like crap. I took two bites (have to make sure the first one is justified), and I threw my cake away.

Phil said that I should've gone and put it back.



Well that's your fault - if you would have waited to cut it, it would have aged properly.
:D
it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

It's been 26 years and you still haven't aged properly...


27...but, trust me, he acts much older than his age! He gets winded way too easily.

YUCK! The worst Treat Day ever! I just bit into a sandwich. It was tainted by olives!!! Yuck!!!! Eww...I'm traumatized.
