Finding Any Opportunity To Be Helpful

--by Aurelia, posted Jan 22, 2010

Today at work I was in the kitchen preparing some food for the 'Birthday Luncheon'. I had a busy morning running around but once everything was in the oven I had a few spare moments whilst it was baking. I decided to go to the administration office and see if I could help them with anything while I was waiting – I know they had been very busy.

Sure enough, they needed help folding letters and stuffing them into envelopes. I sat down and starting folding away. I was quite amazed at how many letters I had folded and stuffed before the oven timer rang telling me the food was ready.

The ladies were very appreciative to me for helping them get their boring job done more quickly. It didn’t feel like a boring job to me, it felt great to help out...every little bit counts!
