Story time! First, let's come up with some abbreviations. Hmm. I have several coworkers. My boss, we'll call N. Then, there is D1, D2, L and J. In another department (but sits RIGHT next to ours) is E. Not all of those are in this story, but I just felt like naming them all. ;)
So, yes. Coworker J had a party this weekend, and she had bought a couple of cakes - and neither cake had much eaten from them. So she brought one of the cakes up here to share with the department. There was roughly half the cake left, maybe just a lil bit more. It was a round chocolate cake, 2 layers, w/choco frosting, and a whole mess of strawberries on top.
Since it was morning, no one touched the cake. (I didn't eat any because I'm allergic to strawberries. But if it'd been something I liked... I might have had some.) So, coworker E comes over and helps herself to some cake. A couple hours later, she gets some more. Now, that's no biggie. It's open to everyone, she can have a couple of slices if she wants.
Except... instead of taking the traditional wedge-shape slices you cut a round cake into, E COMPLETELY scooped out the CENTER of the cake. Now, if you don't like frosting, that's all fine and dandy. Cut yourself a proper piece of cake, then either just trash the frosting, or scoop it off and leave it in the side of the cake container for someone who does like frosting. Don't SCOOP OUT THE MIDDLE!!!! Not only did she scoop out the center of the cake - leaving a 2 inch outer circle of TONNES of frosting - but she also ate all the strawberries & strawberry goo that was on top of the cake too.
At one point, a woman from yet another department came by, and she was going to get a slice. She was completely shocked and appalled that someone had hollowed out the cake like that.
The cake was left there over night, and E's helped herself to it again today. This time - she was scooping out JUST the bottom layer of cake from the circle she'd left. Which left behind, just the top layer and the mass quantities of frosting. So, without a bottom - you guessed it, the cake is collapsing in on itself. THEN she started to harass us to eat some of it, so she wasn't the only one eating it. Ummm... even if it'd been a flavor cake I could eat.. I wouldn't touch it now, that it's been completely destroyed. UGH!!!
( Picture of the cake today )
People really amaze me sometimes.
