If a friend you haven't seen for a long time wants to come and stay just at the moment when you have a major crisis at work,you would?

it would really really depend on which friend. if it was an old friend,yes but i'd tell them point blank i've got some stuff going on.if they can deal with that,fine.

yes, I will accept him,actually I have some troubles in my job. I will tell to him about what has been happen to me, perhaps he can help me to solve the problems.

Be honest with the friend. If it's inconvenient for the person to stay with you, say so. If the person really is a friend, he/she'll understand.

As long as the friend understands my attention may be focused on work and I may be working extra hours and cannot entertain him/her, I see no reason not to let them come. Is it a close friend? If so, he/she will understand that you cannot be sightseeing instead of working.

When I am having a crisis and the friend comes to help me I will let him assist me with some activity. However if he finds it self-depreciating I would not force him.

To this situation ,I just want to say, if you lost your money, you can get it back,but if you lost your friend ,you can hardly bring him back. After all, a long and memorable friendship is priceless.

You could tell him/her that yes he/she can come but you cannot entertain him/her well since you are very busy at work this time. And tell hime/her that if it's ok with him/her, he/she can just schedule his/her visit next time. Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

I'd probably decline but tell him/her honestly that things haven't been really very well with my end of the road and perhaps he/she would understand.

if he or she is your friend i think you should not deny. but again.if he or she is your friend, then you must share the reality with him. and if he is really your friends. he will not create any problem for you. i think he will try to do good for you

I think its better to tell your friend about the situation that you are having. I think its better to be honest with him or her cause he or she is your friend so that means he will understand whatever the situation may be. If your friend will still insists in staying with you then its up to him and up to you as long as you are both aware of the situation and both are also willing to compromise.

I think that you should tell your friend that it is not the right time and tell her/him the truth. I believe that your friend would understand. And tell him/her that maybe you could spend time together after your work crisis.

From the circumstances of the case, i would'nt allow that. The point is that, having a problem in the office is an impediment coupled with the fact that the visiting friend is a stranger.
