I love that you went the extra mile to not only encourage us to say, "No," but not to follow that with any explanation. Definitely one for the Friday links. Thank you! Fantastic post, Anne!

To me, it means you know your own mind & it's only derogatory if you let it be. :-) Lori:

Anyway, good for you. lol, maybe it is pushing back… if someone says it is it’s probably because they are used to ‘winning’ by pushing. Anyway, good for you.

I've said no, which seemed to shock someone I was talking with recently. The question: "Can you manage an article for us for next week?" (This was asked Thursday night and I was heading out on vacation on Saturday morning) I said no. Life goes on. The person I mentioned this to was surprised, but then said, "Wow, I'm glad you can push back like that." It's not pushing back. It's stating fact. I can't do it. I won't kill myself trying.
