Not quite - tossing a coin adds a possible element of regret, which helps you decide what to do.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostIf you're 50/50, then you've already decided you want to delay. Otherwise you wouldn't be thinking about it.
I've added the AndyW option (or will in a tick).

As tomorrow never comes, whatever you put off to tomorrow is never going to get done

Nooooh! I voted, which tipped the balance to delay by one vote. But I was too late!Originally posted by Archangel View PostWhoops! I’ll leave the poll up for interest (just me then?) but I’ve just precipitated the decision! I’ve been drafting an email response and just hit send instead of save!!! So “act now” has been actioned. (I wonder if subconsciously that’s the result I wanted)
anyway, it’s done now.
Let me guess - An email to clientco telling them you were walking

No "Erm, dunno" option?
Anyway, hope whatever it is works out well.

So this thread was a complete waste of time. Whodathunkit.Originally posted by Archangel View PostWhoops! I’ll leave the poll up for interest (just me then?) but I’ve just precipitated the decision!

At least the neg rep option is still available.
EDIT : Oh no it isn't. Meant to hit cancel and hit submit by mistake. Silly me.

I just received your e-mail and, I'm afraid the position has been offered to someone else because you were a dithering cretin. Actually, we were never going to offer you the position, but we thought we'd string you along

Whoops! I’ll leave the poll up for interest (just me then?) but I’ve just precipitated the decision! I’ve been drafting an email response and just hit send instead of save!!! So “act now” has been actioned. (I wonder if subconsciously that’s the result I wanted)
anyway, it’s done now.Last edited by Archangel; 4 August 2021, 17:18.
