Department of No, is one of my regular phrases
Just need a little help to be the department of Yes. Ask the right QUESTION!

Can you fix this bug. Yes...
Can you do it cheaply, yesterday, without risking anything at all? No...

Could you have written the software without this bug in it. Yes...
Could you do it cheaply, the day after I asked for it, without risking anything at all? No...

Cheap, means poor, no risk means you don't do much. So when I said No, that was the answer you would have said I should have given, instead of being somesorft of eejit and saying yes, when I know it couldn't be delivered.

Give me something I can say yes to please, doesn't have tio be often, once a year maybe. Come on you can do it if you try....

Are there departments of No, maybe, not many, Are their departments who daren't say yes, all too many.
