Life, Libations and the Pursuit of Boobs

Ok. So, I am two months into working virtually - which is to say that I signed up with a new company and this company has (quite literally) no office.

Pretty amazing, right?

100% amazing. I have heard some nay-sayers in the virtual office world; people that think it’s too tough to work from home or too hard to wake up and get motivated. Basically, this is retard talk for “I will never be happy with anything in life.” For the rest of us - there is no way you could be unhappy with working virtually as it’s the best of all worlds.

And as part of my day-to-day in the virtual office world, I have been spending a shit ton [international measurement] of time at my local coffee shop - mostly at Socha.

Sounds pretty great, right?

You bet. But within this colorful world of rolling out of bed, putting on a condom and hopping over to my local coffee shop to start virtually working, there are some pros and cons. And so, with great distain, I have decided to compile a list of pros and cons of The Coffee Shop Lifestyle.

Pros

1. No one is in the coffee shop during the day - so basically a coffee shop becomes your office.
2. Food is on hand and you don’t have to prepare it AND because no one is in the coffee shop, you probably don’t even have to leave your seat to order.
3. Other people are paying to power your laptop.
4. Occassionally girls walk in and order a coffee and you get to stare at them like a creepy old man.
5. When you talk to yourself it become full on entertainment for the workers of the coffee shop.
6. Holding in a fart becomes a game and test of the will.

Cons

1. I have a lot of conference calls and I don’t like using my cell phone inside - so I have to pace outside the coffee shop, talking on the phone and making sure that no one is stealing my laptop inside.
2. I have to pay for all my food.
3. I feel weird about staying in a coffee shop for more than 3 hours - I feel like the workers resent me.
4. I have to keep ordering coffee, so by the end of the day I look (and feel) worst than a crack whore.

I’ll add this list as things come to me. Go to hell.
