Leaving
Though her work for the company was quite pivotal, Lily found herself largely ignored there. She had worked for a number of years in accounting, but often felt she was passed over, forgotten, even taken for granted.
One day Lily decided to leave, as she wanted to work somewhere where she would be more valued and appreciated. She baked a cake for her last day of work there, to let everyone know what she thought of them. Lily believed it was her crowning glory: the cake was the shape of a large hand, with the middle finger fully extended.

If you’re going to do it, you might as well go out with some flair.

Ha! Lily’s cake reminds me of the country and western song, “Take This Job and Shove It.”

Lovely, but where did you get the image? Did you have to bake the cake?

Oooh, I shouldn’t leave this story, but I’m going to…
When I left one research assistantship, I made three DVD’s: one with a Rickroll, one with the He-Man “Hey, yeah, yeah” video, and one with that Russian guy going “trololololol”. I labeled them “Honeymoon Videos” parts 1, 2, and 4, then strewed them about the lab in places they wouldn’t easily be found.
This post reminded me of that.
