Weighing a contract offer against waiting - any advice?

The pay is fair but there are no benefits. It has been a long 8 weeks. The contract could extend. Did a contract become permanent?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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.
