"helping" versus "kinda helping"

[shtick]

Today a colleague asked me to help her get her new computer set up.

I spent a couple of hours with her, downloaded some things, set up some stuff, and offered a few pointers.

Later in the day, I was in my manager's office. My manager loves speakerphone, so I was able to overhear my colleague tell my manager that I was "kinda helping" her with her new computer.

How many notches below "helping" is "kinda helping"?

As many notches as it takes to make sure she doesn't look totally incompetent while not giving you the credit you deserve.

She owes you at least a good lunch.

Just kidding - I agree with dmann

Also she have being discreet - not knowing if this was your responsibility or not and didn't
want the boss to think you were dodgeing your own duties

space-time kinda beat me to it.

I think you should tell her how you want to get some "kinda drinks" with her, after which you want to "kinda help" her undo her bra. Followed yet later by "kinda bringing her to your place". After which, yada yada yada, and you take her home. After all, that's "kinda a date", isn't it?

She an a$$hole, get used to it and consider yourself lucky you found it out before something really important came up.

Forerunner to the issue of adding a CR after a period on a document you created and then putting their name on the document (discusssed in an earlier thread), or, if they're being kind adding "edited by xxxx".

were you also doing other things ?

drooling and heavy breathing could be considered concurrent activities.
