    Surprise 'Go-Live' cake shenanigans

    Present company has a habit of celebrating client 'go-lives' with a cake. They have special custom cakes made for each client based on their logo, project or what the company does.

    My internal poison chalice project I've been working on for a year goes live on Saturday night & I & my team are flying to different locations around the globe on Sunday/Monday to be sitting in each global hub(timezone) to give assistance / additional training / trouble shooting & then tied to a 48 hour warroom with the development / support teams in case of issues.

    Somebody just ordered me a cake.

    Anyone want to guess what it's shaped like?

      A cake?
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        No. That's what it's made of.
