I have been unemployed for several months and looking for a full-time position but unable to find any. Just got a call today from one of the companies that I intervewed at and they said they have a contract position for me for 3 weeks only.

I would stay as long as they needed to find somone, train them, leave quietly, in return for unemployment. I don’t care about the insurance, I hate it so much I just want OUT, but unfortunately finacially quitting is not an option.
