jrtomI work for a company--Google--that (a) has a lot of geek cred and (b) serves free food to its employees.
I have just gone and checked the cafeteria for today's lunch, and there is no pie available for dessert. (Fruit, yes. Two different kinds of cake including tiramisu, yes. Several other delectations, yes. No pie.)
The food here is generally excellent, and in fact I have no real complaints.
But I am, somehow, a tiny bit disappointed that Google missed an opportunity--if a small and silly one--to up its geek cred by a notch, even if only to its employees. (At least at this satellite office. For all I know, all the rest of them are having pie fights today and we just didn't get the memo or something.)
("The [pie] is a lie!" :) )
...
I've just mentioned my slight disappointment to the catering folks. Once they understood what I was talking about, they agreed that there should in fact have been pie today. (I don't think that they quite got it, in the sense that one of them suggested that perhaps they could have pie next week to make up for it...but I appreciate their humoring me, at least.)
Ah well. There is tri-tip, so I shouldn't complain too much.
