Remember, Whatever Happens Out There, We Are Total Prefessionals
April 27, 2016 It's Administrative Professionals' day, minions, a time to A) thank your professional assistants, and B) force local bakers to write ridiculously long, hard-to-spell words on cakes.
SO LET'S GET TO IT.
;)
Oooh, so close.
If they only had spell-check for cakes, am I right?
Hang on, what's this? THEY DO??
;)
Well, THAT's clearly helping.
Hey, I know: why not skip the hard-to-spell stuff altogether, and just get down to the heart of what you're trying to say?
;)
...but maybe a little less honest.
;)
And less sarcastic.
;)
YES!
I mean, uh, no. See, while literally everyone can appreciate a good "assets" pun, today you really want something more personalized to your actual assistant. Maybe start with their name?
;)
[head hitting desk]
[muffled talking into keyboard] No, no, see, you need to make your workers feel VALUED and RESPECTED and... what's that? You already ordered the cake? Oh. OK.
;)
I'm sure they'll love it.
Thanks to Jenny L., Carrie C., Helene W., John M., Celeste G., Lani R., & Tera L., who I appreciate in a completely non-creepy, totally prefessional way. MWAH.

At least the first cake left a space for the missing "s," just in case someone wished to insert it.
Those white cookies caused me to have a flashback: When I was in high school, I volunteered at a camp for disabled children. There was one little boy who captured everyone's heart because no matter where he went, what he was doing, or who he encountered, he would always say "thank you." "Thank you, thank you, thank you," all day long. We thought he was so charming. Until one day we realized he wasn't saying "thank." Ah, the innocence of children (and dorky HS students.) I'm sure, as an adult, he's learned to use quotation marks to express his feelings in a more appropriate manner.
Theirs???
I weep.
Well, tihe last cake doesn't look too bad for being about 1&1/3 years old. Better preservatives through science! Get out the chainsaw and zip me off a piece; chocolate's my favorite! =^-.-^=
Really, that last cake would never effectively plug a hole in any dam, no matter how hard they jammed it.
…or did they mean "damn"?
@SuBee - ROTFLMAO! Wow. Perception vs. reality - what a concept!
Yes, I agree w/LJS too... "theirs" ? AUCK - I weep for the future of America - so many WRONG WORDS and MISSPELLINGS and misused words!
These cakes! I would seriously consider turning in my notice if I received a cake that said, "Here's your dam' cake" I can't help but wonder what HR would think!
What makes people so stupid? By that I mean those who would order a cake saying some of these things?
Cake #2 looks like a fresh, weeping tattoo.
Yumm...
How sad is it that my first thought for the 3rd cake was "Yay, they got the correct "you're" for once!"? Then I had to think it through for a while to make sure because, I mean, how often does that happen on cake?
It's obvious that these folks have probably always had their Administrative Assistants order their cakes, to avoid bad spelling and miscommunications. And now I really want someone to care enough to get me a "You're ok, I guess" cake.
Can someone offer an idea as to what the piece of red flotsam is on the last cake. Oddly shaped crab? An "okay" hand with really short fingers? Puzzled.
I especially like that the last cake features cut up phone cords from old-style landlines to emphasize how much the assistants are valued...
LOVE the direct dictation onto that last cookie "cake"...maybe they'd messed up so many times the manager said "just write down EXACTLY what they say, so there will be no more mistakes!"
I could see the last one for the secretary or administrative assistant or other staff at a civil engineers' office. Otherwise . . .
Theys used the extra "s" form teh firssts cake on the fifrd won.
I think wreckerators take the phrase "There are no words" quite literally, because most of what's written on cakes are not actual words.
I love the way the wayward S from Adminitrative slid straight down into Assisstants :-)
But isn't that a cake for a beloved teacher, apple and all? And who has a globe anymore?
Lmao here's your dam cake? I was looking for a dam on that thing. Ah well. My birthday is creeping up on me and I think I am going to stick with getting a small bundt cake. No way they can mess that thing up.. I hope lol.
The "dam" cake reminded me of this snopes article. http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/dammed.asp
A man got a letter demanding he dismantle a beaver dam on his property, and his response was hilarious.
