Who are all you angels?

My mood took quite a sharp turn today when D asked about the progress of the library. She didn't seem to have much optimism in the progress of the library. I wonder if she knew enough from boss what is happening in the library, and well, the discovery hub too. Honestly, if you are going to pile so much other work, planning, scrubbing the floor, cleaning up hall, setting classrooms to the teachers, when do you expect them to find the time to sit down together and discuss a project? Nish and Thila are busy with their own work. I'm lucky Florence is actually a very easy-going partner and she is not petty about things and division of work. So, I get to do my part for the project when the others had their hands tied with their own work.

I must have looked quite stressed. Maybe I am, or maybe it's just that when I'm concentrating on something, I tend to look rather stern and no-nonsense. Whatever it was, I whined a fair bit. To cj and Ah girl.

After lunch, Ah girl (Bless the darling, for helping me so much these few days) and I went up to the library, hoping to finish whatever stuff we can. I found the door unlocked. It could only mean someone's inside.

3 someones. Nish, Thila and Jean. They were already working on the mundane work of cutting the vanguard sheets for the loan cards, pasting, etc. For a moment there, I was really touched. Yes, the library is their project too. But, I know they are all preoccupied with other work too. The point is, I wasn't expecting them and Jean to be there. I went up, with the intention to just carry on the mundane work that I've been doing all day for the past 3 days. It was getting to a point when it was therapeutic. Almost.

Somehow, I know they knew I was affected by D's question. Thila has always been very encouraging whenever I told her that boss has been asking about the library (again). They must have known and decided to share that stress with me. ha.. Stress is, however, a selfish thing. Once it gets shared, it almost immediately dissolves.

I wonder if they know I really appreciate it, appreciate their making it sound like it's nothing to come up to the library to help me. Them, angelic people around me. Them, Thila, Nish, Jean, Kay, CJ, Cindy and Florence for giving me a certain peace of mind about tomorrow's orientation.
