Ride the Coworking Wave

This looks like a great idea for freelancers or anyone who works from home. The Bourse is a new coworking space in New Haven. I’m interested in this type of place after learning about their existence sometime last year and visiting one in New York City.

At one of these coworking establishments, you get a place to work, usually free coffee, printing facilities and use of a copy machine, and you can even rent a conference room for meetings. They provide a variety of membership options, too, if you just want to try it out. If you just need to get out and work around other people, it seems like a perfect solution.

I would love to hear from you if you have tried one of these coworking places. Did you meet anyone interesting with whom to collaborate or did your creativity blossom around other entrepreneurial spirits? Let me know.

Please answer the question I asked.

When I ask a question via email, I am as specific as possible. It only makes sense to be specific so you do not waste the reader’s time. By being specific, you cut through the small talk, get to the point, and we can all go back to our regularly scheduled programming. Why is it, then, that most of the responses to my very specific emails give me an answer to a question I am not asking?

For example, by asking if a company hires remote writers after reading a post for on-site writers, I obviously want to know if the same job can be done off-site. I really do not appreciate someone from H.R. responding with a link to the job post that originally begat the emailed question.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually reads their email at work or just scrolls through for the funny stories and pictures from their friend’s weekend or last vacation. I want to be paid for NOT reading my email, too.

I’m just sayin’…
