I have been trying somewhat unsuccessfully to earn a bit of extra cash through side projects. I have a pretty decent computer background so freelancing seems like my best bet.

I have done some work for local businesses but have not received any new work in quite a while. I’ve been tying sites like rentacoder.com and guru.com, but it seems like I am getting bid against by South American programming outfits whose prices make it not worth my time.

On Friday I saw a part time position on Monster doing something I specialize in - telecommuting and a very nice hourly rate. I would venture to guess only maybe 50 people in the world have as much experience with this as myself and can’t imagine them at least not calling me about it. I am anxiously awaiting this company contacting me, but trying not to get too optimistic.

I’m not really desperate for money but hey everyone could use more right? Plus its nice to keep up on skill sets I don’t get use use as my regular job.
