....So what kinda contract are you signing? I'm sure you can get some good advice here, but you will have to give some more details about what you are doing.

Make sure you give them a right of rescission form.
Don't number the contract #1, use something like 2007-1257. Don't jumb up and down with joy until you get home. Bring a pen. ( I know this one from experience) Make sure the pen works.

Second thing after you get the money, and while you are jumping up and down for joy, pray you didn't forget anything.

Don't spend a DIME on anything NOT directly job related ....rather, wait until you are done, tally up your receipts and hours and expenses...then see if you can actually pay yourself
