The Kindness of a Colleague

"I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues."
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

I recently needed to complete a project at work that required more knowledge than I had of a software program.  After thinking about whom I might call, I decided on a colleague in another state who has not been with our organization long, but has quickly proven to be an incredibly nice and generous person.  He walked me through what I needed to do and then shared a couple of "hacks" he had developed, which made what I had to do even easier.  I was worried that the project would take me longer than the two days I had before the deadline, but thanks to my very generous and kind colleague, I completed the work within a day and ahead of the deadline.
