Anyone else have trouble delivering bad news to people? Especially when you're in control of a decision? For instance:

1. Deciding to break off a relationship
2. Refusing someone your time/money/posessions that has made a legitimate demand upon you
3. Turning down a job offer (one you worked hard to get)

I'm guilty of this right now...I received a job offer I *thought* I wanted, then decided I didn't want it. I found it next to impossible to admit that to the company...so I dodged calls for two days at the end of last week. Soon I have to face the music.




Does any bright Pixies person out there have any words of wisdom? Stories to tell, or suggestions on how to "break the bad news"??

In a classy way, of course.
