>> just say no
I went into work and the first thing I know someone is guilt-tripping me about not helping out in some random project that I am not even committed to or care about or have time for.
I practiced my ignore-stare and unconsciously said no.
No. You cannot take me for granted. You cannot take my time for granted.
As I walked home, I could smell the spring flowers blooming, hear the geese squawking and woodpeckers pecking... and best of all, there was silence from usual guilt-ridden little whiny voice that derails me and let people just walk all over.
Thank you, S. Spring is here.
I love this post. (e:paul) take note!
I know that feeling.
Excellent advice.
