Tuesday, T asked me with a wondering face, “how come you still have so many October orders in the open files?”

I noticed that she started taking over my files to reconcile. I thought she feels I am too slow.

I thought she was too critical; after all, I’ve been handling Dr. G’s various requests while a unit under my hand is having two major grants, other 3 new faculty having big & old open files, and I’ve cleaned so many pending tasks. Moreover, I cannot start reconciling until receiving the October ledgers, which we just got it on Monday.

I was yelling at heart (thank god I didn't actually say it) defensively, “it’s not fair! Are you saying I am not efficient?”

And then, yesterday, she came in and told me, with a relaxed smile, “I won’t be in the office next week.”

I finally realize. She was just worried that I may not be able to finish all the report stuff before the new month hit, and I am having training classes these days, and we will be all off during Thanksgiving next Thursday and Friday.

I finally realize. She was just trying to help as much as she can when she’s around.

It’s only about what people do, not what people say.
