- You get
- If she pushes. One line to hold the no: which launch would slip if you took it, and the Tuesday review offer again.

- When to skip it
- It writes the reply, it doesn't make the call. If you're not sure you should say no, decide that first. It also won't invent an excuse for you, so if the honest reason is one you can't share, it keeps the reason out instead of making one up.
