Heh. I'm picturing a company where their "office" is nothing more than a cage in a CoLo facility that once a month or so a couple part-time employees go in to hit the servers with compressed air and swap out anything that threw a warning or has hit its end-of-life. The rest of the staff are all sitting at home, or at Starbucks working remotely with work calls forwarded to their phone / Skype / whatever...

Once a year, the company has a get-together so the staff can actually *see* each other...

The consulting company I used to work for was like that. Hosted Exchange for mail, no physical office. The one thing, however, that we did need: A meeting room (though one we rented by the hour as needed).

Some clients want to visit a physical location that isn't their office to have a meeting. Strange, but..

Nah, that's the "I can get paid for an 8hr day by driving across town to a 2hr meeting that could have been done over the phone and once it's done, well, darn and golly, how did my golf clubs end up in my trunk?" sort of thing...

😀

Which I was fine with at the time (billing by the hour). I also tended to make diversions after meetings, though not to the golf course. Bookshops however...

Mmmm, bookshops...

On that topic, I can understand the reasons behind the decline of the small, specialty bookshops, but it's still a shame that all we've got around here is Barnes & Noble and...

Barnes & Noble...

Although used bookstores can be fun to browse around, and Gail, if you ever get out Detroit, Michigan, USA way, take some time to visit John K. King Books... Just either leave your wallet and credit cards in your hotel, or come with a wad of cash...

Dang, the budget is tight this week, and I want to go down there...
