About a month ago I changed jobs, leaving the only engineering firm I've ever worked for, for another company that offered me a better position.  My manager at my old job had been my primary instructor in college, and then my daily mentor for the past seven years.  Leaving the company had zero to do with said manager, but more to do with the project engineer for the civil division of the firm chasing clients away with his Long Island attitude.

Anyway, former manager and I speak on the phone about twice per week.  Today, I mention to him that my new job is about to get exciting, as they are going to put a load of responsibility on me, that I've not yet had to undertake thus far in my surveying career.  Mark (former mgr.) says that he's going to be in town today, asks me to join him for lunch.  We have lunch, along with a good conversation about lots of things, new work included.  I explain the project that I'm being assigned, he explains similar ones that I pretty much did most of the work on, under his charge.  He even goes so far as to ask me to email him the deeds, for him to read over, should I get hung up on anything.

Why would he do this?  Not because he's heartbroken that I moved on and he misses me.  But, because I'm his student.  How I perform under pressure in the world is a reflection of his teachings.  The last thing he wants is for one of his students to fail, at anything.

That is why I feel like it would do Billy Price a lot of good to have a conversation with his college coach.

Reminder, let's keep the thread on topic.  Oh wait, that's your job, sorry.   Hilarious
