LOL. Of course they could. But accepting one month ties me in for the month.
Why accept a 1 month contract which will result in future dicking around when it means coughing up other good opportunities (more money, hopefully less dicking around) I've got on the go? A risk certainly but isnt that what contracting is about.
If you dont like the offer, reject it and move on to something else.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
