I had a reader respond to my post announcing my new Rat Race<\/a> store with an article about a new concept about co-working.\u00a0 Co-working is for people who have already escaped the corporate world, work for themselves, and then realize they are lonely because they don’t have any coworkers to talk to all day.\u00a0 So entrepreneurs are starting to set up co-working arrangements, where you can share space with other self-employed people, to have someone to socialize with as you get your work done.\u00a0 Here’s a Chicago Tribune article with more info on co-working.<\/a><\/p>\n

For me personally, in the past when I’ve been self-employed I never had any trouble working from home… when I got lonely I’d just toss my laptop in the car and head to a coffee shop.\u00a0 Or the Saucer, if it was work I could do while drinking beer.\u00a0 However, I’ve talked to other self-employed people and they’ve said exactly the things in the article above, that it’s lonely working alone at times.\u00a0 Maybe Memphis should set up a co-working community… according to wiki.coworking.info<\/a>, Little Rock and Nashville have co-working communities, but not yet Memphis.<\/p>\n

Whew… looks like a busy week shaping up.\u00a0 Tonight I plan to work on yet another website, then hit either Pint Nite or some of the NFL specials around Downtown later in the evening.\u00a0 Tomorrow is trivia night.\u00a0 Wenesday my health guru AL and I are having our latest food adventure – Pa Pa Pia’s this time.\u00a0 Thursday Big Foot Lodge has its Back to School party, and The Dempseys play the Saucer at 9:30.\u00a0 Friday I’m taking the night off to rest up for Saturday, because I’ll be on my feet all day long at the Cooper-Young Fest.\u00a0 Looks like if we get rain from Hurricane Ike, it won’t be here until a couple days after Cooper-Young.<\/p>\n
