Steve - I worked for 1.5 years over a 3.5 years period at 3 different
contract jobs. I always got paid just like any other job. Of course, I
didn't work for IBM at any of those jobs.
John - When I'm in Dubuque, I walk to work - 4 blocks. I like that. There
are a lot of people, including my boss, that walk to work. Dubuque has
about 60,000 people, and there is a lot of housing within a mile or so of
work.

I understand that if you are a contractor to a body shop,
the body shop is often not paid for 45 days (I hear IBM is
one of the culprits here), then the body shop won't pay
it's people for another 45 days. 90 days before the worker
gets paid is not anywhere near fair, but they got you.
Fortunately (knock on wood), I have _never_ been stiffed.
But I have had to wait as long as 120 days (accounting and
paperwork snafu's on their end, so they say). But lately
companies have been paying reasonably quickly. My favorite
clients even pay in advance(!).
