My one year contract with Microsoft was up. There is a thing where I am not allowed to work there for 100 days after that contract. So I have to find either another temp job at the same company, or find permanent work outside microsoft. This happens to be a six month temp job with the option to go permanent. So if it doesnt go permanent, at least I can go back to microsoft for another one year contract and repeat the cycle. I would prefer permanent with this new company because it's more convenient geographically.
