Shortly after I left my last gig back in the summer, there was a purge. My cat-like reflexes appear to still be serving me well. Two friends of mine who were among those cut just started here at the place where I'm at, y'all. [That y'all was simply to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition.]
Lots of my former coworkers, those working and those not, joined up on LinkedIn.com so I signed up. It's free. Fairly easy way to keep up with past coworkers, 'cause ya never know who will help you get your next job.
