Not going for the W2 record
New guy not from but living in KY at the moment. Ran through 3 contractors here since April when I came back from working almost a year in Canada. Been laid off almost 4 weeks now hence finding this site. No offense but I'd still rather be working.

Haha familiar with the never ending Mike Holt debate as well.
I've seen it both ways up there too but not such a heated debate as there is down here. Personally I put them up unless the man with the chequebook says differently
