Luke's Diner, March 28 (Friday)

Lacey had spent the past five days of her 'vacation,' and she was getting very close to actually doing air quotes every time she so much as thought the word, making fruitless phone calls to the Dog River Howler office and to Portalocity. The Howler phone just rang and rang (which was not at all unusual, actually), and Portalocity kept firmly denying that there was any kind of return trip on her itinerary.

She'd ended up making serious inroads in the mini-bar's stock.

She'd finally ventured out this morning, though, and just happened to stop in at what looked like a diner, and from the way the staff was frantically cleaning up, it didn't look like it was being run very well. And Lacey Burrows was not above critiquing someone else's work to feel better about herself.

What she hadn't been expecting was to find the organizational standards of the place so far below what she considered acceptable that she ended up just straightening things out. (Which was dumb, because she always did this sort of thing.)

Lacey didn't hear the staff muttering about how the boss hadn't shown up, but they seemed to have no problem whatsoever with her barging in and taking charge, and that was a nice change from Dog River. Well, it was certainly a welcome distraction from the endless round of unanswered phone calls, and the sick thing was? It was atually fun.

Luke's is open, apparently . . . who knew?
