It's been slow as hell lately, but I think it has promise. Ask Metafilter is the other big gun, with Yahoo Answers lamely trailing. Also, depending on the subject, stackexchange.com has some good help. On Sun, Jan 9, 2011 at 12:30 PM, Rogelio scubac...@gmail.com wrote: Anyone else here on

Put your phone on silent or LOW vibrate. Make/take calls outside of the area if possible. If not, ask others if they mind if you take/make calls. No stinky food. Use headphones. Not the shitty ones that blast tinny noise all over the place. Take a hint when someone wants to get work done. Learn to

What are tactful ways to handle these situations as a coworker? The obnoxious cologne gvies me a headache, the nervous legs vibrate the table, and the noisy laptop sounds guy shows people videos on his laptop with loud, tinny dialogue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Someone's got to be brave enough to pull him aside and talk to him. Because other people will simply go somewhere else where they don't have to confront a stinker or tolerate the foul work environment. This is where staying in business collides with being completely accommodating to

[Coworking] Taking a work vacation to another spot

Hi all, To get away from the daily life and get a lot of work done, I've thought maybe going out of town and working might be a fun idea. Get to see another town, another coworking spot, get some things done. Has anyone else done this? Do you allow people to buy a couple of days? I thought it
