I’ve been going to a meeting of “High Tech Job Seekers,” which is attended by 50+ people twice a week. At each meeting, every member introduces himself or herself and asks for networking help. It tends to get pretty serious. So, today, I introduced myself as follows: “My name is Milind. It’s been six weeks since my last…job. I am a salary-holic.”

It took a while for people to start laughing. I figure they’re more likely to remember me.
