My unemployment was recently cut off due to Congress, and I've been trying to call my state's food stamp office for over a week, but I can't get through. The only material possessions I have are my laptop and ukulele. I really don't want to sell them, but I'll have to if I don't get some work soon.

I have had over 15 years of experience in IT. I was a Sr. Help Desk Technician for the DoD and have letters of recommendation from my former commander. I have also worked at several start-ups. I am A Certified and have degrees in IT.

I am willing to do anything, as long as I can get paid within the next few days. Please let me know if you know of any one who needs work--even if it's hard labor.
