Cake Dilemma

[SimonMac]

An email has just gone around saying there are cakes to celebrate somone's birthday, but none of the permmies have step up to the plate yet, would i be considered bad form if I as a contractor break open the frist batch before anyone else?

You're a contractor man, run over, grab the cake, take it back to your desk and the rest can fook off. Look after Numero, err, one!

And don't forget to nab the receipt, not claimable nowadays I bet but I've seen some fabulous fights for the 200 bongos plus receipt on a curry night.

Only if it is a £30 gold leaf Belgium Cholocate patisserie cake.........

That is unusual. Generally, putting cake in front of the Permanents is like putting a bale of hay in with some cows.

You're a contractor. Lead by example and others will follow.

A little blunt, but accurate and to the point.
