Love working alone but tired of working alone? Co-working locations may be the answer.
I think I’m in love.
You know, I worked for myself for a long time. I’ve also worked by myself for half of my work, for a long time, from home. It’s quiet. It’s productive (mostly) but sometimes it’s lonely. And it certainly hasn’t helped budged me out of my PJ’s on some days. Yes, my working wardrobe has dwindled to dwarf my collection of mommy clothes and t-shirts.
Then I came across a site for a place called the Hive. And then I found this site about coworking locations. Could it be true? Are there really lots of these little places popping up? Hmm, reasonable rates for a private office. Cool furniture, hip and urban office space, conference room space, and then there’s – people. Real, bonafide, people working right there in a similar location. You wouldn’t have to talk with them or interact with them but they could just be there – working. Wow, someone to take a drink break with. Nice.
Anyone know of one of these co-working office locations in Charlotte, N.C.? If so, I may have to change my long term plans to actually include some office life. Imagine that, you could go “on” to work when you wanted or you could stay home and work – also when you wanted. Nice. Where do I sign up?
