R39 - Give me some of that yum like a lollipop

[with_my_teacup]

[A public service announcement]

Hi, kids. It's Richard B. Riddick; you may recognize me as that guy from the kitchen at breakfast.

Friendly reminder that there's nearly a hundred of us, and the functional kitchen staff currently stands at seven plus one on inventory. David Cain was a kitchen worker, Lua Klein was the dinner manager, and our only inmate left on lunch duty is currently about this big. [He holds his hands apart to indicate the Creed-terrier.] And one of the seven? Probation for a week because kitchen tools are not a weapon unless the alternative is death.

We need more hands. We always need more hands, we really need more hands. We always do. One warden, at least one more inmate.

Which brings me to another thing.

Due to the unstable tendencies of the barge and the real stable tendency of most of us to have to eat, I'm requesting anyone with cooking prep experience think about putting themselves on call in case of flood, death toll, or dog. A few more short term hands means a few less posts like this.

Thanks.

I got no objections

I would like her to be assigned with me. Other than that, I have no objections or preferences.

[youwill]

My offer does still stand.

[He is reduced to trolling. Sigh.]

[with_my_teacup]

Sweet of you. Unfortunately, misuse of kitchen equipment, like I said. [He gives a little 'what can I do' shrug]

[inhell]

Ugh. Why would anyone want to work with you?

[routemistress]

I don't fancy meself as a supervisor, but I can always keep covering the gaps once you get Vic back.

[with_my_teacup]

You up to be on that on-call list?

[deadly_ned]

Alpha and me are usually in the pub but I think the both of us can come off of it in case of barge instabilities. Death tolls and floods.


If that's all right with him. And you.

[with_my_teacup]

It is. I'll put you on call.

[composited]

Not so fast, Sparky.

While I'm happy to volunteer, the last time I did, Benny boy got his panties in a twist. We don't need that twice.

[exnihilo]

I could come back. Not for Iris or Victor, I mean. To stay.

[Hey, you get a half-smile.] Wouldn't mind seeing you around. Lunch shift under Ben?

[Private to Riddick and Ben]

[la_belle_rogue]

Ah'm a pretty decent cook. Ah wouldn't mind helpin' out. Only thing is Creed's not always a dog, and he and Ah don't exactly get along well.

Could present a difficulty-- he's probably going on dinner shift, and that's the one we're short a warden on.

I am available.

Putting you on on-call for now. How you feel about long term if needed?

Private

[mightthinkthat]

I... volunteer.

Re: Private

[with_my_teacup]

Excellent. Preference for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Lunch is shortest staffed.

[inhell]

Could anyone but Archer be in breakfast?

[with_my_teacup]

If we can find someone who cooks better and doesn't eat people. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened yet.

[Asshole, yes. Genuinely good cook also yes. Sigh.]

[fridgetothefire]

I can be on-call. I basically am already.

[with_my_teacup]

Thanks, Anya. [Smile for you, kittencub.]

[SIGH]

If you guarantee the only dog around is yours, I could lend a hand. I'm very handy with a can opener.

Re: private;

[with_my_teacup]

I'll try to make it not come to that. Exert a little nepotism. But thanks; if you're needed you'll be tapped.
