So here's a light-hearted DU story for you. |
|
You read a lot here (if you visit other forums) about how civility has been lost and how there's a lot of rancor all over DU. Well, I'd like to tell a little story about DU being a place of camaraderie.
A few months ago, I mentioned in someone else's celebratory thread that I was looking for a job in the IT field. That DUer gave me a few very helpful suggestions, one of which paid off just yesterday. As of next week, I can call myself one of the gainfully employed once more, and I owe that fact in no small part to the DUer who put me on the right track.
I've already PMd that DUer a thank-you, but after doing so, I thought it might be nice to share this story with the community.

1. Congratulations! That's much more than a light-hearted story. |
|
That's how we can all get through this insanity; by helping each other where we can. :thumbsup:

2. Thank you. And I agree, though I wasn't sure how else to describe it. |

What a wonderful story!
I find it most heartening...
Indeed, we can be most cantankerous, but deep down, we're a really good group!
Congrats!
