ever have anger flashbacks? i just remembered that right before i started taking the minutes at the extremely long meeting, the woman who requested that i take the minutes looked at me sympathetically and said, "oh, i'm sorry this meeting's going to be so long. i'll bring you some cake." and she never brought me no damn cake. i mean what the heck, you can't just make empty promises of cake. it's not like crackers or cashews or something. cake is not something you come across often, especially at work. and when you're a 20-something girl, you can never buy cake for yourself because its too unhealthy, so it's only okay to have when it fortuitously falls in your lap. and maybe i would have thrown on the sauce a little more heavily with her if she hadn't promised me a sugary treat, and really let her know that unnecessarily asking someone to write down what everyone's saying for 3 and a half hours isn't cool. but she made her promise and then dashed out of the room, and by the end of the meeting i couldn't remember a damn thing that anyone had said to me for weeks, let alone the cake promises i'd received 3 and a half hours before. but when i just remembered it, the hurt was as fresh as if it had just happened. cake.
