If you know that the only job you could manage to fit in would be a half-assed one, are you really giving them what they have asked for?<BR/><BR/>I say no.<BR/><BR/>I used to be a "yes" man too, but too often it turned me into a wreck. I am now very much a "not right now, can we talk about it [insert specific time here]?" kind of guy. Usually following that up with an apology for not being more available. Alternatively, I am sometimes a "I'm working on [something] for [someone], but if you can get him to move his due date I can fit that in" kind of guy.<BR/><BR/>If you are the only person for the job, they will wait. If not, they will find someone else.Posol'stvo the Medvedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573435137467134333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-29521204677530648072009-03-28T19:16:00.000-05:002009-03-28T19:16:00.000-05:00I love you dearly Hedy, but NO, I didn't turn 63.....I love you dearly Hedy, but NO, I didn't turn 63....
