I want to work
I want to do some work for someone else. Even if I work on just one project in a month, just a few hours, I would love to make just a little bit of money to pay for my food.
While I would be able to do any job very well, I think I can uniquely offer my programming skills. I want to think about, implement, and perfect complicated solutions for people.
PHP web programmers are a dime a dozen, especially outside the US. They can crank out generic, dumb solutions. I want to create programs that others cannot make with traditional programming techniques. I want to leverage my knowledge of Artificial Intelligence algorithms to save people tens of thousands of dollars, to do things that would take far too long and be far too expensive to hire people to do.
I made a website, Ivycall, to describe what I want to do, and how I will do it. Now, I need to talk to people with whom I have worked in the past. I can help them. They can help me. I just need to work up the courage to actually call people. I should have called on Monday. I will make talking to people my only task for tomorrow. I hope that I can muster the strength to do it. Of what am I afraid?
I should stop writing I as much as I have.
