No, I can’t get you a free BlackBerry. Welp, since then I’ve been a store manager and an independently owned VZW store for over 2 years. Some things changed and I couldn’t deal with the work/life balance anymore (retail pays well but they work the life outta ya). Now I do Business Development for Avad, an Ingram Micro company, started at the beginning of the month . I’m at the Buffalo office for the most part, will be traveling once a month or so. Avad is a distributor that specializes in high end custom home theather a/v installs, security, lighting and low voltage products. They have traditionally been in the residential market and are trying to break out more into the commercial market. After about 10 years in mobility, it was time to make a change. Did it right in time not to deal with any of the jesusphone5 bullshit either. ---
