Sucker
I'm thinking about getting it tattooed across my face.I was at work today until 4:30, which was almost an entire hour after when I had intended to leave. It was just, 'oh Ali can you take this call?' 'Ali, I told them at lunch that you'd call them back before you left'... 'Oh, and Ali' blah blah blah.
I also seem to have a difficult time saying no - as in, if you ask me something that starts even remotely like, 'Ali, so do you think you could...' or 'would you mind...' the answer, 99.999% of the time will be, 'well, ok, I'll figure some way to make it work since you need me'. Which will invariably lead to me not sleeping and running myself around like a crazy person, making connections in a fraction of a second leaving nothing to chance and if there happens to be traffic I'm screwed.
I think I need to take a "just say NO" class.
(And no, I'm not talking about drugs - that's one of the few things I manage to refuse just fine - which makes me wonder - what's wrong with my programming that I can say no to 'bonding' with friends over some mild narcotics, but yet I seem physically incapable of saying no to running myself into the ground and completely re-arranging my life just to do someone a little favor?)
