You may not have much use for trivial details, but a certain bureaucratic agency takes them quite seriously. Do what’s required and get your life back on track.
That easy out isn’t the quick escape you think. If anything it could enmesh you further. Stick with the path you’re on and you won’t be led astray.
Go ahead and make your request because your fear of rejection is misplaced. Even if it’s turned down, this person is still open to alternatives.
Don’t ask for advice if you’re not ready to follow it. Figuring out a solution is hard enough without the person helping you out having to sell you on it.
Digging in your heels only makes the other party more insistent. You’re bigger than this. Yield on a point or two and s/he will see reason.
You put a lot of time into prep work and it’s paying off, but don’t stop now. Build on your momentum and take things to the next level.
