THE OFFICE! (not the show)

    Like many people in this world, I do not like to work at home. Never felt right. Home is for sleeping and sitting on the sofa with my hand in my pants. I like to go out and see people while I work, even if I do not talk to them. Makes me feel like I have a life. 

    As more and more people become freelance and/or they don't have/need to go to a office to work they either stay at home and go in nuts or roam the city like the working undead looking for wifi to nourish themselves on. My preferred work place is a coffee shop, due to nice addictive substances it petals ,eg. coffee and free wifi. The people always going in and out makes one feel apart of something.  Just look at all the people whipping their laptops out next to a nice no foam, skinny, tall ( what the hell is tall anyway?! Fuck you Starbucks, you killed coffee.) half -caf "latte" it just screams,  "We are here to work bitchs! and "I have no taste when it comes to coffee!".

   So this is my idea: The Office would be a coffee shop that is designed for people to work at. It would have some very power wifi. All the outlets would be close to the table or in them. Cell phone booths, maybe even a conference room of sorts. Maybe even one of those Japanese vending machines that sells office supplies. Throw a printer, water cooler and a women they hire just to piss people off ( like the "someone has a case of the mondays" women from Office Space) and you have a place for people to get some work done. Side note : It can not look like a office though. Big soft chairs and wood tables needed. This is just a brain storm, so it is an on going idea. I will do some drawings and get them posted. 

   Part of the hope is that when these people are all in the same space they will start forming those human bonds that we get from actually working with people. No design needed to make friends.  

   I bet this is already in NYC.
