Just a Few Observations
Since when does Ping stay at the office to help a client while I leave for the day? Since when does she get up at 6:30 a.m. with me and head for a client meeting -- by herself -- while I go to the office? Since when does she spend two hours on the phone with a friend in the evening to gather information for our law firm? Since when does she stay up until 4:00 a.m. to help one of our clients in China?
Well, those are just a few of the things she has done this week. So I didn't complain when she asked if she could leave the office at 3:00 this afternoon when I started my last meeting of the day. I also didn't complain when I got home around 6:30 this evening and she wasn't home yet. Likewise, I didn't complain when she came in with a big smile a bit later, wearing a new pair of shoes that she had bought on the way home.
I can't say she is amazing because that word is overused, but I can say that I bet few people would believe what she has brought to our family and our law firm since she arrived in America nearly two years ago now. Oh, did I mention that she brought another new client to our law firm today? And did I mention that she closed the deal with another new client today? Or that she came through my office today with a dust cloth in hand, making everything look perfect before clients arrived, and then greeted them with cups of hot tea that they raved about?
What about those delicious meals she cooks for me at the office every day, and the spreadsheets she is methodically preparing to track all of our client files? Then every day she serves me hot tea multiple times, and brings fresh, crisp apples to me. And when I least expect it, she brings a venti mocha frap. from Starbucks to surprise me.
This girl has my number, don't you think?
Now that's living like a king!

Wait until her girl friends start showing up to cook lunch for me when Ping is gone this summer.
