Working from a Third Place
Krishna Dagli writes to mention a USA Today report on the social and business ramifications of working from a third place - somewhere that is neither home nor office. From the article: "An estimated 30 million Americans, or roughly one-fifth of the nation's workforce, are part of the so-called Kinko's generation, employees who spend significant hours each month working outside of a traditional office. This rootless army is growing 10% annually, according to Gartner Dataquest research. The reason? Corporations are increasingly supportive of teleworking for reasons that range from saving money on office space to needing a backup in the event of a natural disaster or terror attack."
Hey that's not true! My PC is 100% safe and... damnit.. hang on... fucking pop ups...
....
Fuck it's rebooting again hang on....
HELP!!! MY MOUSE WONT STOP MOVING!!!!
I keep telling myself I'm not the desperate type.
Hole. The word is "hole." Like the one in your head.
"This rootless army is growing 10% annually" In fact, in a few years more Americans will work outside of traditional offices than there are working Americans.
Now, finally I can make terror work for ME! It's not just the Bush administration anymore!
Cool! Amazing Toys.
I would so give you +5 funny if I had the mod points...
The chicks are way hotter down at the coffee shop, compared to my apartment.
(But seriously: I've also gotten hired by friends I made while working in the same coffee shop. With job opportunities and hot chicks at the cafe, why would you work at home all day?)
That's actually a good point. I'm going to ask my boss if I can "telework" so that I won't be bothered by the constant terrorist attacks at the office.
Overpriced coffee hasn't killed Starbucks, why would overpriced Internet access do any worse?
