One of my closest friends at work often says I'm too quick to say yes. This is in regard to a few different scenarios: when my boss asks me to do something I don't have to do (I can't say no; I never say no; I'm a goddamn pushover) and getting drinks after work. I will always and bitch I mean always be down for a drink at 5:00 p.m. sharp.
When she says it relating to drinks, she does so with a smile and a clipped laugh -- playful but not quite free of judgment. And my gut sort of falls. Is that supposed to mean I'm too available? Is it so bad to be available....always....? I like to have a good time, man.
I recently went out for margaritas with a coworker whom I don't usually spend one-on-one time with. And it wasn't awkward because of tequila! Also because complaining about a job is an endless waterfall of conversation.
I've started dating someone but I'm still a yes woman. I still have all the time in the goddamn world so yeah what the hell I'll get a drink or three with you. I don't think that's so awful. You should be so lucky to find yourself on the receiving end of my weirdo anything goes drunk conversation. You really should.
