Cake Day

Cake Day (kaek dae) n. 1. The second Wednesday of every month, observed within the Murray Franklyn Family of Companies to honor those who celebrate a birthday or company anniversary during that month. Three employees are selected to bring a tasty baked good to share with the office. There are approximately ten minutes of “chit chat” and “small talk”, during which people eat (generally) mediocre store bought baked goods before returning to their respective cubicles. 2. An archaic ritual in which people eat food they do not need to eat, and which is only wanted and found necessary by a small, but very vocal, minority.
