I quit a job to take another job which was a contract position.  I was hoping that the contract would turn permanent, but it didn't, and after it ended I was out of work for several weeks.

My previous manager from the job I quit called me, to fill in for a few weeks for someone who was sick.  That was at least the pretext.  That short term contract got longer and longer and became permanent, which I knew was what she wanted to do

The upper management wasn't too keen on it, but her superior said she should do what she thought was best, and I was back on board.  I stayed for a few years until I was headhunted to go elsewhere.  By that time the people responsible for bringing me back had moved on.
