Journal: Um.
Does anyone know where I can place a large order for chocolate-dipped strawberries that I can pick up in time for Valentine's Day? I do mean large -- it's for a luncheon, and the place I was going to use has closed due to "unforeseen circumstances."

	I'd say reach out to Melinda. She did a great job with the items provided for the tournament. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I was thinking of her too, but I hesitated, because of the volume of business I'm sure she's doing for the holiday. I'll send her a message in the morning, though. By the by, what did you end up ordering for the tournament? And I'm sorry I didn't make it to the finals -- that blasted meeting went overlong, which just scotched any plans I might have had for the evening.

	Well, if she says no we can always dip them ourselves. They might not be as pretty but surely we can't mess up the taste. Millicent No worries. It wasn't that exciting. I still can't believe how into this game people get. I pretend because it's my job, but seriously? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thank you! I'm glad to hear that the pastries were satisfying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They most definitely were. I don't think we had any complaints. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	In theory, depending on how large large is, I could do it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you, that's good of you. If Sweet Nothings can't take the order, I'll send you a message, and we can talk business terms. (Reply to this) (Parent)

My apologies; I hadn't seen your offer until after I'd submitted Sweet Nothings'.

I can make you a similar offer though; if you're interested, we'll be doing large quantities of chocolate dipped strawberries (and other fruits/berries) for Valentine's Day, and could use an extra hand (with the option of future training and employment). Would you be interested in that?

	It's alright. You're the one who makes the living with sweets. That might depend on when and what times you need the extra hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The strawberries won't be available for purchase without pre-ordering until Saturday, so we'll start dipping on Friday morning. With the amount of orders for them, we'll be dipping well into the evening on Friday and starting again on Saturday morning, so if you're interested, as many or as few hours as you wish in that period.

	My job at Wingbeat starts at 9, so I think I'd have to be ought by 7 both evenings to give myself time to change and get there in time for set up, et cetera. Otherwise, I believe I'm free all day both days, which may help anyone who wants time off to spend with their significant other or whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You concern and gesture towards the well-being of my staff is noted and highly appreciated, though the one employee - part-time, I may add - with any resemblance of a significant other, has already been given Saturday off. The rest of us? Well, let's just say that the pâtisserie business isn't as romantic as cake decorations may hint at. We are all ~~woefully~~ ~~pathetically~~ ~~unromantic~~ free to work on holidays like Valentine's Day.

Like I said, any amount of time is a appreciated, and you can either be paid per hour or per product that meets the required standard. So show up when it suits you, and we'll take it from there?

	That sounds good. I'll see you Friday. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sweet Nothings are doing chocolate-dipped strawberries on Valentine's Day, so we're available even for large orders. How large an order are we talking about? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	reinventingmils 2015-02-11 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	The order would be for 150 strawberries, for about 70 people. It's last-minute, so if you can't take it on, I do understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Millicent _melinda_ 2015-02-11 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	Had the order been placed Friday evening, it would have been considered very last minute. As it is, we'll already be dipping strawberries starting Friday morning, so another 150 won't make much of a difference. I assume they will need to be ready for pick up late morning on the 14th at the latest? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That would be excellent -- I'll come around about 11:00? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I don't have any options for your, darling, that Sweet Nothings can't provide, I suspect. Eat one for me, though! (Reply to this)
