NO...NO.....NO.....Keep practicing!

I admit it, I suck at saying 'NO!'. It's gone on for such a long time that I can not take it sometimes. Just yesterday, I confided in my adviser of my intention to take a few days off. His reply, " I don't care where you go, what you do, I need that paper!". And there, I knew it. I just turned in a draft a few days back, and infact, am still mending it. Before I could take a breather, I was awarded with another abstract, like a hard pat on my back. I want to publish, but not in this relentless manner. I sometimes just lack the capability to say NO, and I am mad at myself for that.
