Cafeteria Crew
Just after 7am
Thunder rumbles and crashes ever louder, seeming to shake to building down to its very foundation.
The Head Chef looks up from going over his list, then looks around.
::Head Chef:: "Wow, that thunder and this storm don't have any quit in it.
Gotta wonder if things could get ay worse, weather-wise that is."
As the Head Chef contemplates this, the other kitchen workers continue on with their assigned tasks.
One of the workers is readying ingredients in a bowl for a cake batter.
He moves over to a mixer station and proceeds to plug in the mixer.
As he plugs it in, the lights start to flicker in the kitchen and also out in the dining area where some of the girls are.
::Worker #1:: "Whoa, now there's something I didn't want to see, even though it's not entirely unexpected with this storm continuing to rage."
Looking around some more, he hopes the power stays on while he's mixing the cake batter.
::Head Chef:: "Man, that was lights flickering there, what a pain in the ass.
If the power goes out, I'll definitely have something to worry about, especially with the perishables in the freezer and walk-in fridge."
Getting up, he heads on over to the walk-in freezer and cooler, to take a quick inventory of what could be lost if the power goes out, and for how long.
Walking back to the main kitchen area, he calls for all the other workers to gather around him.
::Head Chef:: "Ok, everyone, gather round, now.
Y'all saw them lights flicker, so that means only one thing.
I want y'all to make sure all the appliances are unplugged, and if anyone has anything to mix, don't worry bout it right now.
Wrap your bowls up, and put any and all utensils back where they belong.
No sense in having any sharp objects laying around if and when the power does go out.
Ok, get to it, the quicker the better."
::Kitchen Crew:: "You got it, Boss, we're on it."
As the crew busy's themselves with the task given to them, the Head Chef goes back to his office to pretty much do the same.
