This is a photo of the second “cake” the folks at work had for Donna today. Her Department commissioned this one from a co-worker who does cakes on the side. It is a white cake with raspberry flavor and iced with lemon frosting. Mmmmmm. There was even vanilla ice cream to go with it. Her Supervisor sent out a 10:30 AM meeting request for everyone in the department, there was no agenda, so most were not really sure what the meeting was about and were as surprised as Donna. I got an invite to attend as well even though I am not in her department. The supervisor was covered in case anyone, even Donna, noticed my name on the attendee list as folks are forever sending us things meant for the other.
I said second cake, because about 30 minutes before her department had the birthday meeting, the Shipping Department threw an impromptu party for Donna that included cup cakes and ice cream. Donna works with them closely and she often volunteers to bring something when ever they have throw a shindig (which is quite often.) If the Princeton Review did a survey of which of the Valve Store’s departments was the Partyingest, Shipping would definitely come out on top.
To finish things off, we went out tonight to eat at Chili’s where if it is your birthday and you have joined their email club, you get a free brownie with ice cream dessert. Thanks Joan for taking us out and for helping us eat the brownie…
