Evening - I would think you'd want to know if the contract was for 'up to three months' or for 'three months'. Bear probably knows more questions from the contract end of things.

What he told me is that they need an extra tech for a bit due to some projects that are going on, and would start with a 90 day contract, which might be slightly extended, but he emphasized that it would *not* by any means be permanent, period. He was very clear that it'd be over by early next year at the latest and that it was *not* a chance it would become permanent.

I dunno that I did well enough that I'd be offered the position anyhow. I'm still really, really hoping for the other. It was more comfortable, for one, and I could bus or ride a bike, which to me is important. I really dislike driving, and with the prices where they are...that's a hugh factor, too.

All of the contracts I've done allow you to leave with one week's notice as a courtesy, but some people don't even give that much. It's generally understood by the contract agency that if you have a chance at something permanent you'll take it.
