Career Cycle: Completed

I've just closed the circle on a major career milestone. A former student called me to sub on a gig.

I didn't know whether to feel proud or awkward.

You're a mentor, you'll be their source of inspiration, and relief when they're in need, always. His calling you wasn't to throw you a bone, it was to help him out, because you're his safe haven in a storm tossed profession.

In short, you da man.

Nice to see you around, sm. I hope you took the gig. I was so sad when a former professor skipped out on a voiceacting audition after seeing my name on the production list...

Can I hire you to call me every morning with a similar pep talk? I feel inspired just reading that!

My guess is that the price is embarrassingly low.
