Unhappy Lost my job and going a little loopy....help?

So I was recently laid off from my company of nearly 6 years. The company that moved me to Calgary. At this time I'm looking around in the market and it does look promising for a IT professional such as myself.

However probably the worst thing about it all was that they took my blackberry.... I have become hopelessly attached to that little gem and therefore I ask this simple question to my Canadian friends. Does anyone have a blackberry storm 2 for bell or unlocked they would sell a neighbor? Please keep in mind my budget is shot until I get back in the game.

Also, I know many of my Calgary brethren are IT folks, does anyone have a line on a job? I am willing to work anywhere in north america on contract but for any permanent positions I would prefer to be in Calgary. Nothing is out of the question. Overseas would be cool too I suppose.

Anyway... I'm running out of internet and sleeping too much. I NEED WORK!

Thanks for reading my rant.

PM or reply if you have a storm 2!! I need a crackberry!

Adam, send me your resume. No promises but I will keep an eye out for you once I know what your skills are. You should hit up Interalian for a detailing job; his car is filthy and he has a cute underage neighbour chick.

No Crackberry for you, though.

I'll get you my resume as soon as I get it back from the consulting service I'm using to get it up to 2010 standards. I haven't used it since 2004 so it's a little out of date.

Thanks alot.

1) Adam, sorry to hear. I'll send a PM for an outfit that might be good.
2) Wayne, all i can say is: bastige... (however, it was 2 years ago, she might not be underage anymore) However, you're right, my G is filthy and could use a real good detailing...

Storm 3 will be out soon, so I'm hoping to get my hands on a storm 2 on the cheap. I like the storm.... Not an Iphone or mac anything fan. I can't stand that I have to use ITUNES for my touch (that I won, not bought for the record)... no wireless sync. proprietary plugs are gay....

Anyway Rant over. I like the storm 2 or I suppose the storm 1. I just need my crackberry fix!

Did you sell it and deliver it or do you still have it? You should still sell it to me! Cancel on the dude. Tell him you dropped it into the toylet!
