We're working in an unusual office setting right now. We are basically drones being paid to ingest words on a computer screen, process, judge and then press a button. There is no need for team work of any kind, or really any human interaction. Relationships are not cultivated and the sharing of personal information, such as birthdays are not divulged. But even in a work environment such as this, an office birthday cake crept in last Friday. We detest the tradition of the office birthday celebration-- the half-assed well wishes, the obligatory smalltalk, and of course the forced singing of Happy Birthday, but this one stood out as by far the worst, because the dude told people it was his birthday and brought in his own cake.
Office Space, The Office and many comedians have joked about office birthday cake much better than we can, and one of the best is Jim Gaffigan's here:
