Temp-to-hire offer, worth it? (Dallas)

I got a contract offer for 8 months as a data-entry clerk and I am unsure whether to accept. I have 9 months of savings left.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
