    I woke up this morning to find an offer letter in my in-box! WOOT! The name of the company is UDP. [EDIT] I did this without a headhunter. That makes three jobs in a row that I've managed without the "help" of a headhunter.

      I'd prefer not to think of it that way.

        Well, I don't get kickbacks, payola, or campaign funding from terrorists, so I would suspect my pay would be a lot less.

          Congratulations - When do you start? I'm glad it's been such a brief interlude for you. It gives me confidence that there are plenty of jobs out there for the good people. United Dog Patrol? Universal Diarrhoea Prevention? Ugly Dinosaurs Party?

                Based on an earlier post telling the company has been in business over 40 years, it's this one[^], right?
