Sayonara Birthday

Yesterday we went to a sayonara party for three of Toby's ex-coworkers. The food started off really slow - they brought three small ceasar salads for 22 people, and not much else. So, someone complained...and then we all felt really guilty. Not only did they (eventually) bring more salads. We ended up with three or four kinds of pizza (which added up to around 12 pizzas), four or five different pastas, appetizers, and, last but not least, three birthday cake platters. Apparently the organizer didn't know how to explain 'goodbye party' so she said it was one guy's birthday. They staff even came and sang him 'happy birthday' and there were sparklers and candles and everything. By the time all this happened however, four hours had gone by and only six or seven of us were left. And the staff refused to wrap the food up for us to take home! (Luckily they did eventually. It would have been a huge waste.)

At any rate, by total suprise I ended up getting my birthday cake this year - tiramisu, lots of fruit, mousse, and tarts. :D
