And heard back - no go on hiring me via my LLC because they will have 'complete discretion' over my work and schedule. And still no contract in my hands because the new one has to get approved by the other two and they are both out.

For desperate people, they sure make some strange choices. They have had massive and repeated systems failures over the past months. They are ramping up their workforce by 20% in the next two weeks for a new project.

Off to the dentist. I spent this afternoon setting up a new website advertising my professional services (OMG, it's amazing how quickly these sites get dated!!!). At least this has been motivating.
