Wow, The Chef's Been Really Nice To Me Latey

What the heck did I do? I haven't kissed his ass (and never will). I haven't ripped him a new one in my captain's reports. I didn't act any different toward him one way or another.

Yes it's true, I did look the other way when he forgot the special veggie meal last week for the VIP. And didn't "throw him under the bus" when there was no milk left inhouse the other day. I haven't even broken his balls too much recently, but for the most part, he's done a good job over the past few weeks and didn't give me a reason to complain.

Maybe it's because I've saved his butt more times than I can remember by telling him that he's missing a BEO or by helping him lower his food cost. Could that be why he has been offering to cook me a special meal almost everyday this week and even had his cooks deliver them to my office? Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket !!! Today I had filet of sole almondine. Not bad.

Ah, life is good as a banquet manager...
