Hah! it was a 3 month DBA contract at an LA legal firm that specialized in converting publicly available data from court cases and data mining the results for various ordinary and/or predatory legal practices...I upgraded the SQL Server databases, fixed the document vector mining, fixed the license compliance issues (this was during the Business Software Alliance predatory compliance era). I didn’t want to continue because I didn’t like the culture, but I did work with the guy I supervised to help him achieve a perm position. I got paid, got my stipend, got my bonus, got my expenses with no delay after my attorney letter. The lying recruiter faded out of sight, I didn’t pay any attention to what happened to her because my pals at the consulting firm put me into a new contract immediately with a higher pay rate.
