No?

[sillifluous]

It is sometimes very difficult for silli to say "No."  I think a lot,
perhaps too much about how the other party will feel or react; 
particularly if it happens to be a kind, friendly person.
It feels almost like killing a mockingbird.

When saying "No" is inevitable, I try to do it at the earliest.
Any kind of avoidance or procrastination will only

in the world of work , saying NO is required .... most often , with vehemence, when called upon by your respective Saduesque entities to be the ONLY one staying back and oding on worka.... hic!

[sillifluous]

Oh yes, but what about the non-Saduesque entities?

[alkyron]

at work everyone's sadu-esque .... or aspiring to get there ..... so pretty much everyone gets a NO first ..... if you're friendly with someone at work , they may be deserving of a "Let me try , dont know if i can"

I agree with what A wants to be, though this kinda firmness is not very easy with the non-Sadusesques who also doubly up as your best friends at work :S

I would LOVE to roam around office saying "no, no, NO" to about 95% of the documents that come my way :p

I would like to believe that I have taken the road less travelled in this past one year.
That when I look back (as I am now doing) and think too much about what I did and why I did it (as I am now doing), I will be happy (?) that it happened.
Though it doesn't have much to do with saying 'No'. When I say 'No', I end up with a terrible 'no' hangover.

Too many nos, no?
:D

A "No" hangover. Yeah, that's what I ended up with.
But then a temporary hangover is preferable to unending regret.
