((The cat must learn that just because it is Cat 5 does not mean it is hers)
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 10:51:12 PM)
(mine is trying to eat my food, all 3 of them)
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 10:53:28 PM)
((Eeek!)) *is on the phone in her office, sitting on her desk again.. it's a wonder why she even has a chair behind it. She gestures while she talks on the phone..as if the listener will somehow understand better* NO! I didn't want you to send flyers out, because the flyers you brought in have the wrong date! Yes that's why they were in the recycle bin..it wasn't a mistake. ...Where did you take them? ... How many..exactly?
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 10:55:08 PM)
::Ais lets herself in, and she moves towards the office, raising a brow as she hears what appears to be a dilemma... she frowns, leaning against the door jamb as she watches Cas, giving her a little wave, but remaining silent while she's on the phone::
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 10:55:58 PM)
*ISabel enters the restaurant, somewhat hesitantly. She latches the door behind her, and does a quick scan of the room*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 10:57:10 PM)
::Ais can be seen leaning against a door, past the kitchen, the tall woman easy to spot, and Cas' voice likely easy to follow::
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 10:57:53 PM)
*Is crosses the floor, coming up behind Aislinn*
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 10:59:24 PM)
*flashes a grin to the others as they come inside, apparently whatever dilemma it is isn't too terrible* Okay.. then here's what I want you to do. -ONLY- take that flyer to the public offices. Post office, police stations, Fire stations..umm..what are the other public offi.. Oh sanitation! And um.. city planner. *shrugs helplessly* Yes. .. No, don't try to correct it.. just take the messed up ones there. .. Yes. Okay thank you. *sighs, clicking the off button and putting her cordless back on the cradle*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:00:16 PM)
::she turns her head, hands coming up carefully as she looks to see who's approaching, relaxing visibly when she sees Izzy. Speaking softly, to not interrupt Cas:: Hello Isabel... ::a soft smile on her face to Izzy, another to Cas:: Hello hun... everything okay?
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:01:34 PM)
Hey. *A wan smile, the corners of her eyes crinkling, despite the dark circles set beneath them*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:03:20 PM)
::she frowns, eyeing Izzy:: Isabel... have you been resting?
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:03:36 PM)
The usual amount. *A shrug*
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:03:54 PM)
*nods and laughs a bit* Yeah.. everything's fine. I'm just throwing a special early opening for the city employees that I wasn't planning. *grins* How are you two?
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:04:12 PM)
Ooo.. *tilts her head at Isabel* How much is usual?
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:05:16 PM)
::she nods to Izzy and raises a brow, before looking to Cas:: Do you need some help with the party?
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:06:45 PM)
For the police? Maybe I'll come.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:07:00 PM)
*she grins* No, just have to put out word about the early schedule and find out who wants the hours. And yes! You should.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:10:07 PM)
::she nods to Cas::
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:10:27 PM)
Good plan.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:12:22 PM)
What's on the menu?
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:13:23 PM)
Regular selections.. just have to hope the menu's are printed in time. *she chuckles* I'll make a few phone calls in the morning and make it work.
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:13:50 PM)
What's the regular selection, anyhow?
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:14:03 PM)
::she nods:: Let me know if you need anything for the restaurant or produce..
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:15:40 PM)
Overzealous busboy wanted some overtime.. So I let him do some polishing and cleaning around the place.. and he saw this stack of promo flyers.. in my Recycle bin.. *shaking her head* Bloody git. Oh! It's asian fusion cuisine. So.. like Chinese Potstickers, made with fruit and sweet ham. Umm Thai peanut sauce, on a fresh green salad with pine nuts. *she smiles* Fresh takes on the classics.
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:17:04 PM)
Chinese, okay. *nods* I like chinese. Especially General Tso's.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:18:52 PM)
.. *she grins* Tell you what. Let your server know that you're my friend when you come in, and I'll put together something just for you.
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:19:14 PM)
Oh, that's nice of you. Resorting to bribery now?
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:20:16 PM)
Noo.. just putting together in my head that the cops and firemen may need a pared down menu and a bullk of meat..
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:20:52 PM)
*smiles* Ais.. I think we're okay for the single night early open. I can't imagine we'll have that many salad's ordered for the City's Finest. *chuckles*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:21:37 PM)
::she nods again:: Okay...
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:21:41 PM)
And pot stickers. But yeah, about every cop I know can put away a lot of protein...
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:23:37 PM)
*nods* I'll put in the order as soon as I have staff to break it down. *laughs*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:25:16 PM)
::she shakes her head, moving towards some of the plants in the restaurant and she nodded to the plants, fingers moving across the foliage carefully:: How many people are you expecting?
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:26:01 PM)
I.. have no idea. Just found out that my busboy took the flyers on the bus with him and gave the bus driver a ginormous stack to invite the other drivers and maintenance folks.
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:26:55 PM)
Well, it's not free food, right? Just a special preview?
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:27:33 PM)
Not free food, no. I am generous.. not independantly wealthy. *pulls a face* But I think I will have to get with my chef and do something for a dessert.
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:29:24 PM)
Soooooo... fewer cops, more suits. *Pauses* Lower case S.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:29:56 PM)
Well, I think I suggested mostly blue collar types, actually.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:30:33 PM)
Didn't say go to the district attorneys or what have you.
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:31:08 PM)
This place looks fancy...
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:32:49 PM)
Sent him to the police and fire stations, post office.. Oh. *she colors slightly* You haven't seen it with the lights up. I ..like modern design. But the menu's not ..yanno. Pricey really. We do a whiskey beef..probably the most expensive thing on the menu.. and it's Um.. *has to turn and snag the demo from her drawer to open it up and look* Yeah it's 15$ for the dinner.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:34:06 PM)
::she smiles, shaking her head::
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:36:17 PM)
Well, that isn't too bad. I'll make sure my squad goes, okay? Promise.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:36:39 PM)
How soon is this impromptu dinner?
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:37:24 PM)
*beams* I'll make sure you have the best table in the house reserved. Pick a night, I'll even waitress. Oh. well..the misprinted flyers say we open this Friday. *a crazy grin*
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:38:18 PM)
But only a moron opens on a friday night with an entirely new staff. It's supposed to be a soft open on Monday.. and then we're open for business on this coming Wednesday. *rubs her temples*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:39:00 PM)
::she nods to Cas:: I'm sure it will go well.. and I look forward to hearing about it. ::offering a smile:
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:39:52 PM)
What's bad about opening on a friday? Lots of people go out to eat....
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:40:15 PM)
That's what's bad. *she grins at Ais* Oh you know you will.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:40:42 PM)
*to Izzy* With a new staff, you want to open on a slower night, so you can see everyone in action and figure out who needs help where and what their strong points are.
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:40:45 PM)
Ah. A few nights to fuck up first.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:41:20 PM)
::she smiles faintly:: I don't mind coming to help... just in case.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:41:24 PM)
*she nods emphatically* Fortunately..restricting it to city employees and a few of their families.. counters that.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:42:14 PM)
*grins at Ais* As much as I'd love it, I have to have all my hires submitted to a background check by a third party, if they're anywhere near food. Sole exceptions are the cleaning crew, since my fridges have locks here.. and the busboys.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:43:19 PM)
::she laughs:: You may submit it as you wish... they won't find anything interesting.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:44:32 PM)
*laughs* Oh no.. I just mean, it takes at least two weeks for that to go though! I don't have two weeks till Friday.
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:44:39 PM)
*She shakes her head* Insane.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:44:40 PM)
I was joking, Cas. ::shaking her head::
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:45:03 PM)
This is your baby... I just want it to go well.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:45:14 PM)
Yeah I know, sort of. I'm not. *brows furrowing* I have one stellar greeter..she's awesome. But my secondary is a bit of a flake.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:45:45 PM)
I have a feeling that come her first paycheck or so.. she'll vanish. *wincing* She was the best of the people-people I had to choose from though.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:46:11 PM)
::Ais smiles:: Good news... I can anyone you want me to be... ::said teasingly... ::
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:47:10 PM)
*her lips quirk into a dippy grin..and she starts laughing*
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:47:55 PM)
Oh god.. if I had to resort to that to staff the place.. I'm just picturing this .. Army of Yous.. or Audrey's!! *laughing harder*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:48:53 PM)
::she laughs:: Audrey would be able to serve a -lot- of people at once, assuming that he can reach... ::she looks to her and then laughs:: No, I'm not cloning myself.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:49:17 PM)
I know! i know.. oh god.. just the picture in my head! *giggling still*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:50:13 PM)
I'm willing to guess that he would be a very big draw for the restaurant..
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:51:11 PM)
Living Plant waits tables? Yeah, oh jeez. We'd have suits and shades here in a New York minute.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:51:47 PM)
::she flicks a brow from Cas, looks to Izzy, then back to Cas, nodding:: Probably sooner...
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:51:56 PM)
*She frowns* Maybe I shouldn't come...
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:52:59 PM)
::she blinks, looking to Izzy:: Why not?
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:54:13 PM)
.. We're not really going to have clones and plants wait tables.. *sobering*
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:54:50 PM)
No - but if I'm publicly associating with you guys....
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 18, 2011 11:57:37 PM)
::she looks to Cas and Izzy:: I... don't have to be here.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:57:49 PM)
.. What? *is clearly..LOST at this point*
Isabel Ross (Jan 18, 2011 11:58:15 PM)
*She frowns, and shakes her head - a faint look of panic creeping into her expression* They are still watching me.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:58:36 PM)
*blinks* Oh.
Cas Brimley (Jan 18, 2011 11:59:03 PM)
*then reaches over to put a hand on Izzy's* Hey..take a deep breath and look at it another way. *smiling*
