snapshot of chef

almost 0415: omelette time. The man who matt dubbed the "omelette architect", is really named roland. even though he works in the galley on a aircraft carrier, in the worlds finest navy, he acts like he is the head chef at a five star restaurant. he knows my order by heart (veggie and cheese omelette) and makes sure to have matts ready at the same time so there is never a lull in our conversation. once, when matt was bullied by the guys ahead of us into getting our omelettes from the "other girl", roland got jealous. the day after the incident with "other girl", he pretended to forget our orders, and almost couldn't look at us. it took about half a week for him to forgive us. roland is a fine example of how having passion for ones job leads to loyalism. matt says that if he were a millionare, he would get up at the crack of dawn and fly his private jet to the uss carl vinson on a daily basis, just to partake in rolands delicacies.thank god for roland and all the rolands out there. and thank god matt is not a millionare because he would never be able to fly a private jet onto the flight deck, no matter how rich he was.
