The Most Unkindest Cut

I returned home from a wonderful vacation in Hawaii and immediately turned to my two favorite reading fixes: Recruiting.com and Interbiznet. I was shocked (shocked I tell you!) to find that Jason Davis put up a post with a list of active blogs from which Talentism was excluded! Oh the horrors, the agony! Woe is me!

To quote my friend Bill (Shakespeare) “This was the most unkindest cut of all.” Of course getting cut from a list of blogs isn’t the same as being stabbed by Brutus, but it did serve as a needed wake-up call that in the blogging world, it’s all about the length of time between your posts, not the length of posts when you have the time.

Suitably indignant I started writing a pledge to my several readers that I would once again take up the mantle of recruiting blogger extraordinaire, but then I started watching a rerun of Boston Legal and lost my train of thought. I think that Alan Shore and Denny Crane are archetypes and I keep trying to figure out which once I am: aged pompous blowhard or young pompous contrarian. What were we talking about? Oh yeah… Jason cut me from the list! Time to post about that (but maybe I should throw caution to the wind and get that law degree….).

Actually, I had written the excuse for my lack of blogospheric presence three weeks ago, but it doesn’t get posted until Friday, so here I am left alone with my indignity and a box of Ding-Dongs. I do have an exciting announcement to make (and no, it’s not that I actually yearn to be Shirley Schmidt), but alas it will have to wait until later in the week.

Until that time I shall take Jason’s omission as a kind-hearted nudge to produce more content, and not as the churlish slight that my “Just-because-your-paranoid-doesn’t-mean-they-aren’t-out-to-get-you” shadow-self would like to believe.

Back to the TV! I go alone! (I don't suppose anybody remembers Kevin Spacey's appearance on LA Law in 1992, so that quote will not be quite as funny as I hoped.)

PS – Apologies to those of you who don’t watch Boston Legal. I highly recommend it as a guilty pleasure.

Sorry man, you know something like that could only happen by mistake.
