Dangers of Contracting inlcude:

1. Jobs that don't come through in the end.
2. No health insurance unless you are signed onto a contract.
3. No control over your own job searches.
4. Absolute need to be cool and flexible in the face of no contract situation.

Yep, Rhode Island fell through-- the person who "accepts" contracts is out of the office until next week and I need a job signed before that time. My Rep (the new one) is supposed to find me one, but if she can't I may have to run back to Sunbelt. The new rep is not returning my calls-- I'm hoping she's just looking so hard for a job for me that she doesn't have time to return my call. We shall see.

In the mean time, I am being cool. I am enjoying the visit home that coinsides with my sister-in-law's visit (plus the nephews). Monday I arrived at midnight. Tuesday we did errands and played around town. Wednesday we went to Edventure museum for the day. Thursday we went to a nearby park and played in the water and on the playground.

Next week I'll be doing a tour of duty. First to Greenville, then Atlanta, then Nashville, and hopefully I'll have a placement by then and I'll head to the new job!
