Ironic, Isn't it?

Today is the one year anniversary of being "Reduced in Force" by my former employer. After which I enjoyed 6 months off to retool, retrain and recharge for the next step in my career. Back in November 2005 I was offered a contract position at the same company, I accepted it and have been working there ever since. Well the irony is dripping like butter off a giant stack of flap jacks because the same company offered me a full time spot effective today. This means I still get to keep all my seniority, vacation accruals and vestedness(?) as if I had never been reduced.
