R39 - Give me some of that yum like a lollipop

[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.

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.

Victor Creed has been demonstrating excellent self control while in the kitchen, but it is true that he knows I am capable of keeping him under physical control, and we have no history.

Perhaps on-call would be best, unless or until this situation resolves itself. And currently instated, unless a better candidate volunteers full time.

Well if ya don't get any other volunteers, Ah could ask Kara for a regular dinner time loan, so he'll stay in line. He's less likely ta try and physically come at me if Ah outclass him.

Any case, Ah hate ta see folks hungry so count me in as a volunteer whatever happens.

I'll put you on the list. Much obliged.
