So... I feel like a total dick for saying this, but 5 out of 7 of my last mentorship sessions have no-showed or cancelled within 10 minutes of their appointments in the past week. Only one person out of those has provided any reasonable reason. I'm really sorry - if this keeps up much longer I am not going to be able to continue the service.

If you aren't respectful of my time, please, please be respectful of the time of others who help you along your career journey. I miss every single Sunday afternoon I could spend with my family for nothing but occasional tips. Some folks wait months for these appointments.

@hacks4pancakes Sorry this keeps happening and I do hope that you continue. People just need to pull their heads out of their asses.

Me, I've always been a bit afraid of asking people for advice. I'm terrified that the answer will be something like: "Wow, complacent much? You should have been working toward this twenty years ago! Now it's too late. Sorry."

@dkh I’d never say that and I’m quite blunt
