I'm not the guy who networks at all

Oh dear, Facebook and LinkedIn have done the same thing to the word network that FB did to the word friend.

You definitely network. Whereas on LinkedIn we merely "network".

No, I really don't network.

The lunches et al weren't initiated by myself. Someone has a problem, my phone rings, they suggest lunch, and I figure it's a good excuse to get some fish and chips. I don't think I've gone out of my way to reach out to someone for career purposes in nearly a decade.
