I am a fairweather blogger.  As soon as my non-web life gets remotely complicated I'm off.

And like that candidate you promised to call with feedback but didn't, my blog has been nagging at my consciousness for weeks.  And the longer it goes on the worse it is.  If it was you, wouldn't you rather have the bad news, chalk it up to experience and move on?  That's how candidates feel too.

We're afraid. Afraid they'll argue with us, get upset or do that disappointed sigh our fathers did whenever we confessed to not studying.  In an old recruiting job I had, I had to call 10 or so candidates A DAY with bad news.  In the 8 months I did that job, I never had a candidate cry on me.  Never.

They already know.  They just want you to confirm it so they can move on.

So do it now.  Better late than never, but better to get it over and done with.  Like jumping back into blogging.
