We are supposed to do a department cake every couple of months to celebrate birthdays and baby's and whatnot. People do not get gifts or even called out by name unless they want to make their event known. Seems to work ok.
Yeah, that sounds nice. We do smaller things for people within my department (generally paid for by the person's supervisor), but then we don't actually do something for everyone's birthday and workiversary, or if we do, it's like a thing every other day, and I wish we could just stop! Or just do a card.
I love filet-o-fishes (filets-o-fish?). They remind me of high school. Sunday night was the night my Mom didn't cook. We usually had pizza, but occasionally we went to McDonald's. Since I didn't like hamburgers back then, I always had the filet-o-fish.
When I worked at McDonald's in high school, the employees could bastardize whatever unholy type of sandwich we wanted for our own meals (meaning no, customers could not order a Big Mac with tartar sauce instead of The Ick they put on there, but WE could make our own that way), and we made some NASTY combinations with the Filet-O-Fish.
The bravest I ever got regarding the ol' fish sandwich was to add a second piece of cheese and extra tartar sauce (which customers could also do, so I wasn't really being a rebel). But my co-workers? NASTINESS. The world is not ready for a Quarter Pounder/Filet-O-Fish combo with Bic Mac sauce.

We do a monthly lunch/snack thing for that month's birthdays (1-3 birthdays depending on the month). A card gets passed around and the people whose birthday it is get to pick the food item (pizza, cake, bagels, salad bar, etc.). The only time we contribute is when someone picks salad bar and everyone checks off on a big list what they will bring.
There's a singing hamster so that we don't have to sing.
It works pretty well.

I don't even think I was ready to read about it.
I had a BK big fish yesterday on the drive home. mmm.
Oh by the way, that McNuggetini?
::shudder::
I had planned to spend most of the afternoon doing a mailing, but it's done already! So now I don't want to work, since working was Not In My Plan...

Sounds like something on the Doublemeat Palace menu.
mmm, Filet-o-Fish . . . am now hungry. Where is nearest McDonald's?
