A company sent me an email for IT support work in Houston for Home Depots, Dollar Store and others.. i have work here and in Lubbock next three weeks...but I asked for SCOW and timeline, plus pay scale..they are covering travel and expenses. Plus I have support contract with GPS and Arcticcom so a long stay in Houston area would be tough.
