That's pretty accurate for us. So far, anyone we've lost have dropped out either for personal reasons or because it just wasn't a good fit. Strangely, we had one person who signed up for a permanent desk, set up his computer and never came in for three months. He then cancelled and told me what I'm positive was a made up story about him going through a divorce, I have no idea why he didn't just want to say that he didn't need it.
