from an unexpected source

i received a compliment from our hotel manager this evening.

on my way to check on a 911 call, i ran into him. i greeted him and went on my way. halfway down the hallway, i heard his voice behind me. i didn't realize he'd followed me.

hm: pia, when does your contract end?
me: july
hm: that's good. you'll be here a while.
me: there is a chance i may extend.
hm: even better. we need people like you on this ship.

it's good to know that my work doesn't go unnoticed.
