LOL, I'm trying to picture this.

I did have a "memorial service" when I retired the first server used in the
office.  And we also had a moment of silence when I retired the most used
plotter in the office.

But I've never had a service with food or anything.

Hope you made it thru the rest of your day.

What kind of job do you have?

I've killed many a system in my day as a Software Architect, but I
never gave it a funeral.  Now that I'm a Director of Development, I'm
in the process of killing one app but replacing it with a newer app.
Kind of like putting an old dog to sleep and getting a new puppy.
Usually, though, we're so beat by the time a new system goes live, all
we want to do is giggle from being punchy and go home to bed for the
first time in days.

Now, food on the job in software development, that's a never ending
saga.  During the last couple of lean years, no one fed me, but my new
company is rolling in bagels, pizzas, sandwiches, free sodas, cake for
birthdays, cake for graduations, the list goes on and on.  We're a
healthcare firm, don't you think we'd bring in fruit and open a gym in
the building?

At my company we entertain alot of customers throughout the day, and in my
area at any given time you can find bagels w/cream cheese, donuts, penne,
pizza, cake or sandwiches. It's extremely difficult to get through without
nibbling, but each day I do it seems to get a little easier. :)
