SEWMOC called me recently to tell me that the project that we had worked on received FDA approval. He, of course, is excited about it and expected me to share his enthusiasm. However, this moment was bittersweet for me. I had imagined this moment for years, and it's weird to think that when it happened that it didn't make me happy.
Of course, living well is supposed to be the best revenge, but there must be something I can do for revenge, right? Maybe I'll start donating some money to stem cell research. They just did a stem cell thing that enabled a blind guy to see. Maybe with enough time, stem cells will make the medical device I worked on obsolete. I don't even care if that would mean that my stock goes to zero.
Advice to people while talking to a former coworker: your good news is most likely not their good news. Just keep that in mind. Now, the former coworker will act happy and all that, but don't expect them to really feel the same enthusiasm.
