It's difficult to say NO, esp when someone who is kinda dear to you ask u to help him/her. Since I've started working, it had been pretty hard for me to displease anyone@ colleague, I guess during that time I was a on contract-basis (ppl say that when u're still on contract-basis, its better if u just follow what ur so-called superiors asked u to do)..well then..I followed that advice for 4 years..2005 marked my social adjustment when my priority has been adjusted to mr hubby and everybody knows that whatever it is, he comes first in my list..be it nite classes, club xtivities or even a simple get-together with my lady friends...he used to complaint that I spent too much time doin' office stuffs (I used to bring back students' work, quizzes..) I went for my Induction Course in 2008, leaving him and our then lil' monster when he has just reached 1 yo..late 2009 I began to think straight and finally I came to my senses....I've have said NO to many things..
"dd, I need u to draft module for this......" - I answered OK"could u replace ----- for tis event..couldn't make it" - I responded SURE, WHY NOT
"I have decided that u should do this..cz....." - I said MY PLEASURE
"i knw that ur appt for tis post ends tis dec...but i couldn't find any1 else than u..so, could u pls stay for 1 more term?" - I replied AS U WISH..
so...I confidently rejected an offer to b 1 one of CM for 1 of the most important posts in the uni....my reason...
I need to focus on 1 of my goals..2012....2 more yrs to go....
simple as that....
