Now that job sounds real good :yumyum:. It would really help out with alot of my problems that im having. The only thing is that i dont wanna get there and it turns out to be another contract scam where im there for 30 days and then after the 30 days they get rid of me due to the fact that they only wanted me there just to help out with a load and threw the 30days to hire just to get people to come in. So im a little nervous on what i should do.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated guys.
