Resolution #10. Broken.

That's right. Resolution #10 has been broken over and over again.

Resolution #10: Will Learn how to say no.

I think in my personal life I've done much better at being able to stop myself, to say no to other people, but at work I find that it's impossible. I can't stop agreeing to do everything because I want to do my part in making the company better, and most time I'm naive in thinking that I can fit absolutely everything into my schedule. I've worked on this one project for too long. And as much as I want to help them it's been one of those things where information keeps on going back and forth, and new things get revealed with every pass at the solution. Quite honestly I thought I was going to go crazy (well more crazy than I already am).

How does a person learn to say no in the work environment? I feel like I still need to bust my ass off to show everyone I'm a capable female engineer. But at what point do you tactfully say, no because I really can't handle it? And without the fear that someone will go berserk on you?
