Our cooking lady Tini made a birthday cake the other day. ”Antti, one of the artists, turns 23 today”, she told me.
It is the curse blessing of this business–everyone is so young. If you are 35 years old, you are definitely an old fart.
”One of the boys turns 19 soon”, Tini continued laughing.
Also I heard there will be a 17-year-old intern working for FB this summer.
The reality has hit me. I am Old. I guess I am one the oldest working in this office.
And I am not even 30 yet. Even in a couple of years.

THE CAKE IS A LIE

Fernando: A lie? Well the cake in the picture is not the one Tini baked, because I forgot to take a picture of it. But we actually had a delicious cake!
Urfoex: That is the only thing that comforts me! In addition to grey hair, arthritis, dentures and hearing loss, I might become wiser… 8)

“Thine pastry is untrue”, is a ye old psalm from the days of Portal the first.

Now if only we could induce the homogenization of some particulate grain matter with the developing contents of an avian calcium capsule. Introduce some sodium and chloride ions to the system, along with a proper mass of saccharides from carbon fixation. Add bovine lactation product as well as the emulsion-inverted counterpart, and through the selection and application of one of many well-defined preparatory processes (many of which require additional inclusions, most of which require notable thermal activity), we could obtain a common celebratory form of sustenance.
Promises of said sustenance are regarded in some circles to be a fabrication.
