Has your start date for a contract assignment ever been delayed, and you felt funny
about it?

Twice, and in both cases it was a bureaucratic fumble on the hiring
side; things worked out fine once I got on board. Happily, what has
happened much more often is that my *end* date for a contract
assignment has been extended in order to provide more work than
originally anticipated.

I believe in listening to the Little Voice when it's telling you that
something isn't quite right, but I also think that it is very useful,
when theorizing about possible conspiracies and shady dealings, to
keep Hanlon's Razor in mind:

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
