In [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=633935) thread I announced that I was laid off. That was a little over three months ago. Today I got offered a new job. Just about as good as the one I left. Considering the economy, I consider myself pretty lucky to have found such a good job so fast. It was all about networking, networking, networking. A guy I used to work with now works at the new company, and he put in a good word for me. ---

Congrats, **suranyi**! Just about every job I’ve ever gotten is because of networking. You never know who you’ll run into later in life. Enjoy the new job. -D/a ---
