My birthday was last Saturday and the way our office works is you buy the cake for the next birthday. The next one was today and I forgot. Somebody just reminded me now and I went and apologized and said I'd bring the cake tomorrow.

Should I go get one at lunch anyways? Or is the damage of forgetting already done and getting a cake now won't make that any different?

Portal joke

Buy the cake. How's the view from sugar heaven?

[Edited on April 6, 2011 at 11:32 AM. Reason : bitch]

Get one during lunch. Learn to program reminders into your phone

4/6/2011 11:31:54 AM

Get an ice cream cake. All will be forgiven.

4/6/2011 11:33:35 AM

Got distracted by the NC State coaching search.

But my wife was going to make a cake. Surely she'd prefer that over a store bought shitty cake, right?

[Edited on April 6, 2011 at 11:34 AM. Reason : ^birthday chick already told me she doesn't like ice cream cakes]

4/6/2011 11:34:07 AM

Who the fuck doesn't like ice cream cakes?

She must be a communist.

4/6/2011 11:35:48 AM

Don't go to the supermarket for cake. Are you in RTP? Waiting until tomorrow would be no bueno.

4/6/2011 11:36:07 AM

i want an ice cream cake.

no one remembered my birthday in my office last week

4/6/2011 11:36:32 AM

Who the fuck doesn't like ice cream cakes?

yeah, I thought it was weird too.

I think I'm going to wait. I'm already an asshole for forgetting. I'd rather have some really good cupcakes or a cake tomorrow for her than rush to get something sucky now

4/6/2011 11:38:22 AM

off topic a bit, but I made a rum cake for my boss' birthday on Monday. It was WAY better than any store bought cake....with the obvious exception of an ice cream cake.

4/6/2011 11:39:33 AM

Personally I'd be pissed if I got a cake after my birthday. Just suck it up, go to Guglhupf, and buy one of their amazing cakes from the bakery.

4/6/2011 11:40:03 AM

But tomorrow's not someone's birthday. You'll look like an asshole.

[Edited on April 6, 2011 at 11:40 AM. Reason : an even BIGGER asshole. Wide open asshole with poop hanging out.]

4/6/2011 11:40:04 AM

But I already look like an asshole

The worst part is before I started here, the guy who always got her cake forgot every year too

Its not even noon yet. Whats the big deal about giving her a cake in the afternoon? You still have 6 hours of workday left.

4/6/2011 11:42:31 AM

Looks more and more like if you wait until tomorrow you'll be a raging dick.

4/6/2011 11:42:38 AM

I mean if you really want to bring in your wife's cake, do both. Get her a cake today and then bring in the homemade one tomorrow.

4/6/2011 11:42:40 AM

make it a "SURPRISE!!! I DIDN'T FORGET AFTER ALL!!" afternoon cake party.

ok I think I'll get a cake at lunch and bring cupcakes tomorrow

4/6/2011 11:46:29 AM

omfg did someone say cupcakes?

4/6/2011 11:47:26 AM

Office food events are always such a good way to gain insight into your co-workers.

Who is going to be the first person in line? Are they first because they're assertive or because they can't resist the urge to stuff their face?

Who is going to get two slices of cheesecake when there are only 10 to go around and at least 15 people in attendance?

Who is going to make a motherfucking take home plate. Better yet, who is going to make a take home plate using high demand foods such as the peperoni pizza before everybody has finished eating?

Where are the cool people sitting? Who sat their first only to have everybody else flock to their table? Did the first person through the line sit down at a table only to get up and move a few minutes later because nobody joined him?

These things are crucial in establishing your place in office hierarchy.

4/6/2011 11:58:58 AM

what kind of cake should I get?

I was going to go with pound cake

4/6/2011 12:00:25 PM

sam's has pretty good cakes, as long as you get the buttercream icing one.

4/6/2011 12:01:14 PM

if you buy pound cake for a birthday cake, you're done.

srsly.

4/6/2011 12:01:18 PM

Pound cake is no birthday cake

Get her a a red velvet. Bitches love red velvet.

4/6/2011 12:01:45 PM

Are you looking at grocery store cakes or what? Lowe's Foods has a surprisingly awesome chocolate cake.

4/6/2011 12:02:07 PM

Buy her an expensive cake today and then build her a nice cake for tomorrow to redeem yourself.

[Edited on April 6, 2011 at 12:04 PM. Reason : and leave the price tag on to show her you care]

4/6/2011 12:03:56 PM

4/6/2011 12:04:53 PM

4/6/2011 12:25:06 PM

That was for a birthday yesterday. Boss didn't have time to buy the cake yesterday so I'm going out at lunch to get a cheesecake

I think pound cake is delicious

4/6/2011 1:34:21 PM

I mean a lot of people think bagels are delicious but you don't get them for someone's bday

4/6/2011 1:35:02 PM

4/6/2011 1:36:15 PM

oh well I don't know proper office birthday cake protocol, obviously. I mean, I'm forgetting cakes and initially intending to wait till the next day to bring one. A cake is a cake to me

4/6/2011 1:44:40 PM

I just went and got a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake

4/6/2011 1:49:47 PM

Get a cake shaped like a gigantic dick

Observe who eats which parts, and bring that up with them at various times throughout the year.
