Stress is my life
So my friend and mentor is leaving the company I work for and persuing possibly better opportunities. I won't say that this is a bad thing because he has not been happy in his job for a while now. For me however, it is not great. I know I will not be losing a friend but I will definitely be seeing less of him. I am facing the prospect of having to prove myself not only to my bosses but also to myself. This is slightly scary for me so in my typical style I have been stressing out and being a cranky bastard. I really do wish Sean the best at his new job but his presence will certainly be missed. Not only because as of this coming Saturday I will be the only person in my department and will be on call 24/7 for the forseeable future but because he is one hell of a good programmer and it's always fun working with him. Good luck Sean! I hope I do as well as you have. Now bring on the shitstorm cuz I am gonna go down fighting!

Ya know, you also can ask for help too. You have a lot of people who care about you & are willing to help anyway they can. All ya gotta do is ask.

Jerry, you will do great. I have been grooming you for this for over a year now and I have no doubts that you will do a really good job. The only thing you have to remember is that if it takes you a little longer do do things that's ok. Your last line states it correctly, stand your ground. Not only because they don't have anyone else, but mainly because you are now the expert.
