Professionally speaking, if I like you, respect you, trust you, and you show the same plus appreciation I'll cut off my right hand and type with my nose. Appreciation, trust, and respect will make my boundaries grow farther than I thought possible.

Absent those things I'll have no problem letting you know where my boundaries are and sticking to them. I prioritize, make my priorities known and stick to them. Anything else is secondary and can wait until later, even if later never comes.
