h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've decided that I'm going to quit.
I have a job in which they expect me to use Visual Basic to fix some programs that they've created, and not only do I not like VB, but the best solution I can think of to fix those programs is use something other than VB in the first place.
I'm thinking of becoming a full time web designer... but I need people to design pages for if I plan to get paid.
I'd love to get into a creative environment in which I can use my Delphi skills to create new and inspirational software, but there's nothing like that in my area, and not too many companies are open to doing business over the net.
Perhaps I'll just get some small job where I work 20 hours a week and spend all my time at home doing all those nifty computer things I love. Who knows, maybe I can even start my own software company if I can create a few really good programs ;}
Perhaps I can get a contract to keep up the Telnet application I made for the company.. and for sure I'm going to make a generic version that I can release over the net, I'll just have to change it enough to get through that statement in my contract...
